Psalm 64:6-8
New International Version
6 They plot injustice and say,
“We have devised a perfect plan!”
Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.
Psalm 64:6-8
King James Version
6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
