Psalm Ps. 64. This individual lament shares with Psalm 63 a confidence in God’s victory over those who bring troubles on the righteous. The psalm has two parts: a request for help against deadly schemes (64:1–6), and confident expectation that God will fight on behalf of his faithful (vv. 7–10). God gives victory as instruction for mankind (v. 9) and to bring joy to the godly (v. 10).
Ps. 64:1–6 The psalmist makes three requests (hear my voice, preserve my life, hide me) and describes his enemies and their wicked schemes. The enemy is made up of wicked people (v. 2) who use bitter words (vv. 3–4), which become snares (v. 5). This could be referring either to lies that cause disagreement or slander that destroys reputations.
Ps. 64:7–10 Those who shoot their bitter words like arrows aimed at the innocent (vv. 3–4) will find that God shoots his arrow at them. God brings them down as they deserve (v. 8), with their own tongues turned against them. The people see what God has done, and it makes them think about who he is (all mankind fears).
