David's cry to the Lord in Psalm 64 is to preserve Him when the enemy is scheming against him! Verse 2:
2 Hide me from the secret counsel and conspiracy of the ungodly, from the scheming of evildoers,
These evildoers, led by King Saul, were after David to kill him because he was perceived as a threat to Saul's reign. David goes on to describe more of what they were up to in verses 5-6:
5 They encourage themselves in an evil purpose, they talk of laying snares secretly; they say, Who will discover us? 6 They think out acts of injustice and say, We have accomplished a well-devised thing! For the inward thought of each one [is unsearchable] and his heart is deep.
BUT, what these evildoers seem to have forgotten is that the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Bible KNOWS all, HEARS all and SEES all! NOTHING that they planned or did was hidden from HIM! Their end was NOT pretty! If some of these tactics sound familiar to you, be of GREAT good cheer! The same God is watching over the affairs of man right now! Nothing being done in "secret" is EVER a secret to Him! The certain end for those who continually reject God and His Word? Verses 7-9:
7 But God will shoot an unexpected arrow at them; and suddenly shall they be wounded. 8 And they will be made to stumble, their own tongues turning against them; all who gaze upon them will shake their heads and flee away. 9 And all men shall [reverently] fear and be in awe; and they will declare the work of God, for they will wisely consider and acknowledge that it is His doing.
SO, pray for them and be about our Father's business while we wait as a spectator in the secret place of His presence (Psalm 91:8), being a DOER of verse 10:
10 The [uncompromisingly] righteous shall be glad in the Lord and shall trust and take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory and offer praise.
