Psalms 64
David prays to Elohim for protection from enemies who sharpen their tongues like swords, shoot bitter words like arrows from ambush, and devise secret evil plots, believing no one sees their deep-hearted schemes.[1][2][3] Elohim suddenly shoots arrows at them, turns their tongues against them, causes all to fear and proclaim His works, and the righteous rejoice and take refuge in YHWH.[1][2][3]
