The psalm is a prayer that the vicious plots of wicked men against the righteous might fail.
After seeing His justice at work, the righteous will be glad and trust all the more in Him.
I. The Malevolent Ingenuity of the Wicked (64:1-6).
II. The Memorable Reciprocation by the LORD (64:7-10).
Psalm 64:1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
Psalm 64:2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from
Psalm 64:3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, [and] bend [their bows to shoot] their arrows, [even] bitter words:
Psalm 64:6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward [thought] of every one [of them], and the heart, [is] deep.
Psalm 64:7 But God shall shoot at them [with] an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
Psalm 64:9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of His doing.
There is coming a time when all will bow before the Lord.
Philippians 2:10-11 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth; And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
