Smokie Norful's song "Psalm 64" is a worshipful adaptation of the biblical Psalm, expressing a heartfelt cry for God's protection and deliverance from enemies. The lyrics plead for God to hear the singer's voice and preserve life from fear, while seeking refuge from the schemes of the wicked. The song transitions into a declaration of dependence on God, acknowledging that we cannot make it without Him, and concludes with a doxology praising God's ability to keep believers from falling. It is a prayerful and reassuring piece that emphasizes trust in God's care and sovereignty.

[Chorus:]
Hear my voice oh 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
[Chorus x2]
Hear my cry oh God
Oh god, oh God, oh God
And please attend unto my prayers
Hear our prayer Oh Lord
We can't make it without you
We need you now
[Chorus]
Now unto him who is able
To keep me from falling
Amen
