Psalm 64:3

Protection From Evildoers

² Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers,
From the tumult of those who do iniquity,
³ Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword.
They aimed bitter speech as their arrow,
⁴ To shoot from concealment at the blameless;
Suddenly they shoot at him, and do not fear.

They make ready their arrow upon the string
To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

Even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows
And their tongue a sharp sword.

To devour the afflicted from the earth
And the needy from among men.

And they do not know Me,” declares the Lord.
