Psalms 64:1-6

Hide Me from the Wicked

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my ^acomplaint;
preserve my life from dread of the enemy.
2 Hide me from ^bthe secret plots of the wicked,
from the throng of evildoers,
3 who ^cwhet their tongues like swords,
who ^daim bitter words like arrows,
4 shooting from ^eambush at the blameless,
shooting at him suddenly and ^fwithout fear.
5 They ^ghold fast to their evil purpose;
they talk of ^hlaying snares secretly,
thinking, ⁱ“Who can see them?”
6 They search out injustice,
saying, “We have accomplished a diligent search.”
For ^jthe inward mind and heart of a man are deep.
