Psalms 64:4 - Exposition

That they may shoot in secret at the perfect; or, in their hiding places . David does not scruple to call himself "perfect," using the word in the sense in which it is used of Job ( Job 1:1 ; Job 2:3 ), meaning a sincere and upright man. Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. They are not afraid, though it is "the anointed of the Lord," whom to attack is not only rebellion, but sacrilege (see 2 Samuel 1:14 ).
