Psalm 64:5-10

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁵They encourage each other in an evil plan;^[a]^[b]
they talk about hiding traps and say,
“Who will see them?”^[c]^(A)
⁶They devise crimes and say,
“We have perfected a secret plan.”^(B)
The inner man and the heart are mysterious.

⁷But God will shoot them with arrows;
suddenly, they will be wounded.^(C)
⁸They will be made to stumble;
their own tongues work against them.
All who see them will shake their heads.^(D)
⁹Then everyone will fear
and will tell about God’s work,
for they will understand what He has done.^(E)

¹⁰The righteous one rejoices in the Lord
and takes refuge in Him;
all those who are upright in heart
will offer praise.^(F)
