Psalms 64:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 64:5

Compare all

3 Who sharpen their tongue like a sword,
^aAnd bend their bows to shoot their arrows—bitter words,

4 That they may shoot in secret at the blameless;
Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.

5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter;
They talk of laying snares secretly;
^aThey say, “Who will see them?”

6 They devise iniquities:
“We have perfected a shrewd scheme.”
Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.

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.
