64:7 God takes on the role of warrior (7:12), with the picture of him shooting arrows at the psalmist’s enemies, even while they were hiding and waiting to shoot the innocent (v. 4).
64:8 The phrase tongues work against them may be a reference to the enemies’ provoking God through their destructive speech. Shaking the head was a gesture often associated with mocking (see note at 22:6-8).
64:9 One of the purposes in God’s punishment of the wicked is to teach others (see note at 59:11).
