64:1-4 David made several requests in prayer:
Preserve my life from fear of the enemy
Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the rebellion of the workers of iniquity
Notice that David asks for God's preservation from fear as well as the force that caused the fear. Fear can do as much damage to us as any enemy threatens, perhaps more. We have the blessing of our protection and preservation from God that indeed preserves us from the reckless actions of harmful people. We need only to call on Him, to invite Him into our lives as an authority.
64:5-6 Just as in Numbers 22 regarding Balak and Balaam, though the wicked plot against the righteous, their toil is inevitably fruitless if their target in within God's haven. The tribulation will come, but the fire of it does not burn. God creates outlets for us to escape, restore, remain, rejoice.
64:7-10 The end of the story, for the righteous, is always a recount of God's triumph on their behalf. God is our hero, our undefeated warrior. And so we trust and praise and glorify Him.
