Psalms 64:9

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;
^aAll who see them shall flee away.

9 All men shall fear,
And shall ^adeclare the work of God;
For they shall wisely consider His doing.

10 ^aThe righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in Him.
And all the upright in heart shall glory.

What Does Psalms 64:9 Mean?

Psalm 64:9

The word "consider" (sakal) is linked with fearing God. The implication is that if one does not fear God, he is probably not considering God's ways—what God is doing—and he will end up on His wrong side. When we wisely consider what God is doing, we begin to fear God. When we think through all the things that God is doing, we come to a right appreciation of what is happening.
