Psalm 64:6-9

King James Version

⁶They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

⁷But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

⁸So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

⁹And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

New International Version

⁶They plot injustice and say,
“We have devised a perfect plan!”
Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.

⁷But God will shoot them with his arrows;
    they will suddenly be struck down.
⁸He will turn their own tongues against them^(A)
    and bring them to ruin;
    all who see them will shake their heads^(B) in scorn.^(C)
⁹All people will fear;^(D)
    they will proclaim the works of God
    and ponder what he has done.^(E)
