Psalms 64:6-8 in English

⁶ They search out iniquities; We have accomplished, say they, a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep.

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

⁸ So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them: All that see them shall wag the head.

⁶ Thou art wonderful in righteousness. Hearken to us, O God our Saviour; the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are on the sea afar off:

⁷ who dost establish the mountains in thy strength, being girded about with power;

⁸ who troublest the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.

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.

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.

⁶ who do establish the mountains in your strength, being girded about with power;

⁷ who trouble the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.

⁸ The nations shall be troubled, and they that inhabit the ends of the earth shall be afraid of your signs; you will cause the outgoings of morning and evening to rejoice.

⁶ They search out iniquities; We have accomplished, say they, a diligent search: and the inward thought of every one, and the heart, is deep.

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

⁸ So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them: all that see them shall wag the head.

⁶ because we have planned very well the crime that we are going to commit!” No one can fully understand what people can think and plan!

⁷ But it will be as though God will shoot his arrows at them, and suddenly they will be wounded.

⁸ Because of what they say MTY, he will get rid of them, and then everyone who sees what has happened to them will shake their heads to ridicule them.

⁶ who do establish the mountains in your strength, being girded about with power;

⁷ who trouble the depth of the sea, the sounds of its waves.

⁸ The nations shall be troubled, and they that inhabit the ends of the earth shall be afraid of your signs; you will cause the outgoings of morning and evening to rejoice.

⁶ They plot injustice, saying, “We have made a perfect plan!” Surely man’s mind and heart are cunning.

⁷ But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.

⁸ Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.

⁶ They plot injustice, saying, “We have made a perfect plan!” Surely man’s mind and heart are cunning.

⁶ Or make discovery of our secret purpose? The design is framed with care; and the inner thought of a man, and his heart, is deep.

⁷ But God sends out an arrow against them; suddenly they are wounded.

⁸ The evil of their tongues is the cause of their fall; all those who see them are shaking their heads at them.

⁶ They devise iniquities: We have it ready, the plan is diligently sought out. And each one's inward thought and heart is deep.

⁷ But God will shoot an arrow at them: suddenly are they wounded;

⁸ By their own tongue they are made to fall over one another: all that see them shall flee away.

⁶ Wonderful in justice. Hear us, O God our saviour, who art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and in the sea afar off.

⁷ Thou who preparest the mountains by thy strength, being girded with power:

⁸ Who troublest the depth of the sea, the noise of its waves. The Gentiles shall be troubled,

⁶ They plot wicked things. “What a great plan we've created!” they say. There are no limits to the depths to which human minds and thoughts can sink.

⁷ But God will shoot them with arrows; all of a sudden they will be wounded.

⁸ What they themselves say will trip them up; people who see them will mock them, shaking their heads at them.

⁶ They haue sought out iniquities, and haue accomplished that which they sought out, euen euery one his secret thoughtes, and the depth of his heart.

⁷ But God will shoote an arrowe at them suddenly: their strokes shalbe at once.

⁸ They shall cause their owne tongue to fall vpon them: and whosoeuer shall see them, shall flee away.

⁶ (64-7) They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart.

⁷ (64-8) But God doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; thence are their wounds.

⁸ (64-9) So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; all that see them shake the head.

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

⁶ (64:7) They search out iniquities; “We are ready with the carefully searched out device:” and the inward thought and heart of each is deeply hidden.

⁷ (64:8) But God shooteth at them suddenly his arrow;—thence are come their wounds.

⁸ (64:9) And their own tongues will stumble over themselves: all that look on them will shake their head.

⁶ Thou art wonderful in righteousness. Hearken to us, O God our Savior; The hope of all the ends of the earth, And of them that are on the sea afar off:

⁷ Who dost establish the mountains in thy strength, Being girded about with power;

⁸ Who troublest the depth of the sea, The sounds of its waves.

⁶ They meditate crimes: “We have finished,” say they, “our plans!” The heart and bosom of every one of them are deep.

⁷ But God will shoot an arrow at them; Suddenly shall they be wounded.

⁸ Thus their own tongues shall bring them down; All who see them will flee away.

⁶ They think out their crimes full cunningly hidden deep in their crafty hearts.

⁷ But God with his arrow will shoot them, swiftly shall they be smitten.

⁸ For their tongue he will bring them to ruin, all will shudder with horror at the sight of them.

⁷ But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.

⁸ Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.

⁶ They invent sinful plans; “We have finished,” they say, “a careful plan.” The inner thoughts and hearts of man are deep.

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

⁸ They will be made to stumble, since their own tongues are against them; all who see them will wag their heads.

⁶ They plot injustice, saying, “We have made a perfect plan!” Surely man’s mind and heart are cunning.

⁶ They sought wickednesses; they sought, and failed not in seeking. A man nighed to a deep heart;

⁷ and God shall be enhanced. The arrows of little men, that is, of envious men, be made the wounds of them;

⁸ and the tongues of them be made sick against them. All men be troubled, that saw them;

⁶ They sought wickednesses; they sought, and failed (not) in seeking. A man nighed to a deep heart; (They sought out wickednesses; yea, they sought them out, and failed not in finding them, for their hearts be dark and deep.)

⁷ and God shall be enhanced. The arrows of little men, that is, (of) envious men, be made the wounds of them; (But God shall shoot his arrows at them; and then suddenly they shall be the ones who be wounded.)

⁸ and the tongues of them be made sick against them. All men be troubled, that saw them; (And their tongues, that is, their own evil words, shall be their own undoing. And all who see them shall shake their heads;)

⁶ They search out perverse things, 'We perfected a searching search,' And the inward part of man, and the heart are deep.

⁷ And God doth shoot them with an arrow, Sudden have been their wounds,

⁸ And they cause him to stumble, Against them is their own tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away.
