Psalms 64:2

1 Hear, O God, my voice of complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy.

Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of workers of iniquity,

3 who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows,

4 ambushing the innocent in seclusion, shooting suddenly, without fear.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
