Psalm 64:1-6

Christian Standard Bible

¹ God, hear my voice when I am in anguish.^(A)
Protect my life from the terror of the enemy.^(B)
2 Hide me from the scheming of wicked people,^(C)
from the mob of evildoers,^(D)
3 who sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim bitter words like arrows,^(E)
4 shooting from concealed places at the blameless.
They shoot at him suddenly and are not afraid.^(F)
5 They adopt^[a] an evil plan;
they talk about hiding traps and say,
“Who will see them?” ^[b](G)
6 They devise crimes and say,
“We have perfected a secret plan.”^(H)
The inner man and the heart are mysterious.^(I)
