Psalm 3:3-4: "But you, Lord, are a shield to me, my glory, and what exalts my head. With my voice I cry to the Lord, and heard me from his holy mountain." Like the psalmist in Psalm 64, the psalmist in Psalm 3 trusts God's protection against his enemies. He cries out God for help and knows that God will hear His prayers.

Psalm 27:1: "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom will I fear? Is the Lord the strength of my life; whom will I fear me?" This verse shows the confidence that the psalmist has in God to protect him and guide him at all times.

Psalm 31:15: "My hours are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies and those who chase me." The psalmist in Psalm 64 asks God to protect him from his enemies and those who plot against him. This verse in Psalm 31 makes a similar request.

Psalm 37:39-40: "But the salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord; He is his fortress in the time of anguish. The Lord helps them and delivers them; He delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in Him." This verse reinforces the idea that God is the source of protection and security for the righteous. The psalmist in Psalm 64 trusts God to deliver him from his enemies.

Psalm 91:2: "I will tell the Lord, He is my God, my refuge, my fortress, and I will trust in Him." This verse highlights the importance of trusting God for protection and security. The psalmist in Psalm 64 has the same confidence in God as the psalmist in Psalm 91.
