Psalms 64:3

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

² Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of workers of iniquity,

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

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

⁵ They hold fast to their evil purpose; they speak of hiding their snares. “Who will see them?” they say.

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