Psalm 64:7–10

7 But God will shoot them with his arrows;

they will suddenly be struck down.

8 He will turn their own tongues against them

and bring them to ruin;

all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.

9 All people will fear;

they will proclaim the works of God

and ponder what he has done.

10 The righteous will rejoice in the Lord

and take refuge in him;

all the upright in heart will glory in him!

7 But God shoots his arrow at them;

they are wounded suddenly.

8 They are brought to ruin, with their own tongues turned against them;

all who see them will wag their heads.

9 Then all mankind fears;

they tell what God has brought about

and ponder what he has done.

10 Let the righteous one rejoice in the Lord

and take refuge in him!

Let all the upright in heart exult!

7 But God himself will shoot them with his arrows,

suddenly striking them down.

8 Their own tongues will ruin them,

and all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.

9 Then everyone will be afraid;

they will proclaim the mighty acts of God

and realize all the amazing things he does.

10 The godly will rejoice in the Lord

and find shelter in him.

And those who do what is right

will praise him.

7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow;

Suddenly they shall be wounded.

8 So He will make them stumble over their own tongue;

All who see them shall flee away.

9 All men shall fear,

And shall declare the work of God;

For they shall wisely consider His doing.

10 The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in Him.

And all the upright in heart shall glory.

7 But God will shoot them with arrows;

they will suddenly be struck down.

8 Their own words will be used against them.

All who see them will shake their heads.

9 Then everyone will fear God.

They will tell what God has done,

and they will learn from what he has done.

10 Good people will be happy in the Lord

and will find protection in him.

Let everyone who is honest praise the Lord.

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.

9 And all men shall fear;

And they shall declare the work of God,

And shall wisely consider of his doing.

10 The righteous shall be glad in Jehovah, and shall take refuge in him;

And all the upright in heart shall glory.

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. 9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare God’s doing; and they shall wisely consider his work. 10 The righteous shall rejoice in Jehovah, and trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

7 But God will shoot them with an arrow. 

Suddenly, they will be struck dead. 

8 They will trip over their own tongues. 

Everyone who sees them will shake his head. 

9 Everyone will be afraid and conclude, 

“This is an act of God!” 

They will learn from what he has done. 

10 Righteous people will find joy in the Lord and take refuge in him. 

Everyone whose motives are decent will be able to brag. 

7 But God will shoot them with arrows;

suddenly, they will be wounded.

8 They will be made to stumble;

their own tongues work against them.

All who see them will shake their heads.

9 Then everyone will fear

and will tell about God’s work,

for they will understand what He has done.

10 The righteous one rejoices in the Lord

and takes refuge in Him;

all those who are upright in heart

will offer praise.

7 But God will shoot his arrow at them;

they will be wounded suddenly.

8 Because of their tongue he will bring them to ruin;

all who see them will shake with horror.

9 Then everyone will fear;

they will tell what God has brought about

and ponder what he has done.

10 Let the righteous rejoice in the Lord

and take refuge in him.

Let all the upright in heart glory.

7 But God will shoot them;

with an arrow they will suddenly be wounded.

8  And they who would cause him to stumble,

their own tongue will be against them.

All who gaze on them will shake.

9 And then all men will fear,

and will declare the working of God,

and will understand his doing.

10 The righteous will rejoice in Yahweh and take refuge in him,

and all the upright in heart will boast.

7 But God will shoot my enemies with his arrows.

He will suddenly strike them down.

8 He will turn their own words against them.

He will destroy them.

All those who see them will shake their heads

and look down on them.

9 Everyone will respect God.

They will tell about his works.

They will think about what he has done.

10 Let godly people be full of joy because of what the Lord has done.

Let them go to him for safety.

Let all those whose hearts are honest praise him.

7 But God will shoot at them with an arrow;

Suddenly they will be wounded.

8 So they will make him stumble;

Their own tongue is against them;

All who see them will shake the head.

9 Then all men will fear,

And they will declare the work of God,

And will consider what He has done.

10 The righteous man will be glad in the Lord and will take refuge in Him;

And all the upright in heart will glory.
