Hear
my
voice,
O
God,
in my
prayer:
preserve
my
life
from
fear
of the
enemy
.
2
Hide
me from the secret
counsel
of the
wicked
; from the
insurrection
of the
workers
of
iniquity:
3
Who
whet
their
tongue
like a
sword,
and
bend
their bows to shoot their
arrows,
even
bitter
words:
4
That they may
shoot
in
secret
at the
perfect:
suddenly
do they
shoot
at him, and
fear
not.
5
They
encourage
themselves in an
evil
matter:
[a]
they
commune
of
laying
snares
privily
; they
say
, Who shall
see
them?
6
They search
out
iniquities;
they
accomplish
a
diligent
search:
both the
inward
thought of every
one
of them, and the
heart,
is
deep.
7
But
God
shall
shoot
at them with an
arrow;
suddenly
shall they be
wounded.
8
So they shall make their own
tongue
to
fall
upon themselves: all that
see
them shall flee
away
.
9
And all
men
shall
fear
, and shall
declare
the
work
of
God;
for they shall wisely
consider
of his
doing.

Psalms 64:1-9 Meaning and Commentary
Taken from
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Psalms 64:1-9 In-Context
1
Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2
Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
3
Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
4
That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5
They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
6
They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
7
But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
8
So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
9
And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
10
The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
