Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
Psalms 64:1-10.-Two strophes. He prays for preservation from the secret counsels of the wicked (Psalms 64:1-5); the completion of laying their plots foreruns their sudden destruction, God turning their malice upon themselves, so that all discern God's doing, and the righteous are glad in Him (Psalms 64:6-10). The slanders of tongue apply to the Sauline persecution. But the truth is general: all the plots of the ungodly, including the last Antichrist, shall utterly fail, when seeming on the verge of my success.
Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer - Hebrew 'in my meditating'-my plaintive, meditative prayer х bªsiychiy (H7879)].
