Psalm 64 shares the theme with Psalm 63 of confidence in God’s victory over the wicked who pursue David. Yet, Psalm 64 is an individual lament or request for God’s help against deadly enemies and with confident expectation that God will fight for him. Psalm 64 presents God’s purpose for his victory as instruction for the faithful and as a way of bringing joy to the godly.
1-6 – David asks that God would hide him from the secret plans of the wicked. The tools of the wicked in this case are bitter words, lies.
7-10 – But the wicked who shoot bitter words like arrows at the faithful will find that God shoot arrows at them. The lies of the wicked are turned against them, and they are brought to ruin. The world looks on in amazement and the faithful rejoice in the LORD.
