Psalm 64:2-4
New English Translation

2 Hide me from the plots of evil men,
from the crowd of evildoers.[a]
3 They[b] sharpen their tongues like swords;
they aim their arrows, a slanderous charge,[c]
4 in order to shoot down the innocent[d] in secluded places.
They shoot at him suddenly and are unafraid of retaliation.[e]
