In this
prayer-psalm, King David asks God to protect him – not from the enemy, whoever
or whatever that might be – but from fear. He also prays, in essence, to be kept untouched by the ills and ill-will around him.

Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
