Don't let them find me— the conspirators out to get me, Using their tongues as weapons, flinging poison words, poison-tipped arrow-words. They shoot from ambush, shoot without warning, not caring who they hit. They keep fit doing calisthenics of evil purpose, They keep lists of the traps they've secretly set. They say to each other, "No one can catch us, no one can detect our perfect crime." The Detective detects the mystery in the dark of the cellar heart.

Contextual Overview
To the director: A song of David.
God, listen to my complaint. Save me from the terrible threats of my enemies! 2 Protect me from the secret plans of the wicked. Hide me from that gang of evil people. 3 They sharpen their tongues to use like swords. They aim their poisonous words like arrows. 4 Suddenly, from their hiding places, they let their arrows fly. They shoot to kill innocent people. 5 They encourage each other to do wrong. They talk about setting traps and say, "No one will see them here! 6 No one will discover our crime. We have the perfect plan!" Yes, people can be very tricky and hard to understand.Bible Verse Review

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked,.... The word used denotes both the place where wicked men meet together for consultation; see Genesis 49:6; and the counsel itself they there take; from the bad effects of which the psalmist desired to be hid and preserved. So Saul and his courtiers secretly took counsel against David, and the Jews against Christ, and that very privily and secretly; see Matthew 26:3;
from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity; their noise, rage, and tumult; see Psalms 2:1. The former phrase denotes their secret machinations and designs, and this their open violence; and the persons that entered into such measures are no other than evildoers and workers of iniquity; though they might be under a profession of religion, as David's enemies, and the Jews, who were Christ's enemies, were, Matthew 7:22; and who are further described in the next verses.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Hide me - Or, more literally, thou wilt hide me. There is both an implied prayer that this might be done, and a confident belief that it would be done. The idea is, Protect me; guard me; make me safe - as one is who is hidden or concealed so that his enemies cannot find him.
From the secret counsel - The word used here - סוד sôd - means properly couch, cushion; and then, a divan, a circle of friends sitting together on couches for familiar conversation, or for counsel. See Psalms 25:14, note; Psalms 55:14, note; compare Job 15:8; Job 29:4. Here the reference is to the consultations of his enemies for the purpose of doing him wrong. Of course, as they took this counsel together, he could not know it, and the word secret is not improperly applied to it. The idea here is, that although he did not know what that counsel or purpose was, or what was the result of their consultations, yet God knew, and he could guard him against it.
Of the wicked - Not the wicked in general, but his particular foes who were endeavoring to destroy him. Luther renders this, “from the assembling of the wicked.”
From the insurrection - The word used here - רגשׁה rigshâh - means properly a “noisy crowd, a multitude.” The allusion is to such a crowd, such a disorderly and violent rabble, as constituted a mob. He was in danger not only from the secret purposes of the more calm and thoughtful of his enemies who were plotting against him, but from the excited passions of the multitude, and thus his life was in double danger. If he escaped the one, he had no security that he would escape the other. So the Redeemer was exposed to a double danger. There was the danger arising from the secret plottings of the Scribes and Pharisees assembled in council, and there was also the danger arising from the infuriated passions of the multitude. The former calmly laid the plan for putting him to death by a judicial trial; the others took up stones to stone him, or cried, “Crucify him, crucify him!” The word insurrection here does not well express the idea. The word tumult would better represent the meaning of the original.
Of the workers of iniquity - That is, of those who were arrayed against him.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 64:2. Hide me from the secret counsel — They plotted his destruction, and then formed insurrections in order to accomplish it.
Workers of iniquity — Those who made sin their labour, their daily employment; it was their occupation and trade. It is supposed that by this title the Babylonians are intended. See Psalms 6:3; Psalms 14:4; Psalms 36:12; Psalms 53:4; Psalms 59:2.
