64 Hear my voice, God, in ^(A)my ^[a]complaint;
^(B)Protect my life from dread of the enemy.
² Hide me from the ^(C)secret discussion of evildoers,
From the restlessness of ^(D)the workers of injustice,
³ Who ^(E)have sharpened their tongues like a sword.
They ^(F)aimed bitter speech as their arrows,
⁴ To ^(G)shoot ^[b]from concealment at the innocent;
Suddenly they shoot at him, and ^(H)do not fear.
⁵ They make firm for themselves an evil ^[c]purpose;
They ^[d]talk of ^(I)setting snares secretly;
They say, “^(J)Who can see them?”
