Psalms 64:8

Read in context

Psalms 64:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 They devise injustice and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.” For the inner man and the heart are mysterious.

7 But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be wounded.

8 They will be made to stumble, their own tongues turned against them. All who see will shake their heads.

9 Then all mankind will fear and proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done.

10 Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him; let all the upright in heart exult.
