Psalm 64:1-4
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy. (2) Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the throng of evildoers, (3) who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows, (4) shooting from ambush at the blameless, shooting at him suddenly and without fear.
Lord, my enemies are the sinful affections of my heart, lust, greed, pride, envy, avarice, conceit, self-centered, and more. The list goes on of those things that the Evil One uses to gain a toehold in my heart and dissuade me from honoring You with all my heart, soul, mind, strength and loving my neighbor as myself. They can only be held at bay through the transforming power of Your love for me. Praise You, Lord.
