Psalms 64:6-7
Psalms 64:2-8 The Message (MSG)
Don’t let them find me— the conspirators out to get me, Using their tongues as weapons, flinging poison words, poison-tipped arrow-words. They shoot from ambush, shoot without warning, not caring who they hit. They keep fit doing calisthenics of evil purpose, They keep lists of the traps they’ve secretly set. They say to each other, “No one can catch us, no one can detect our perfect crime.” The Detective detects the mystery in the dark of the cellar heart. The God of the Arrow shoots! They double up in pain, Fall flat on their faces in full view of the grinning crowd.
Psalms 64:6-7 King James Version (KJV)
They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: Both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. But God shall shoot at them With an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
Psalms 64:6-7 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
They devise injustices, saying, “We are ready with a well-conceived plot”; For the inward thought and the heart of a man are deep. But God will shoot at them with an arrow; Suddenly they will be wounded.
Psalms 64:6-7 New Century Version (NCV)
They plan wicked things and say, “We have a perfect plan.” The mind of human beings is hard to understand. But God will shoot them with arrows; they will suddenly be struck down.
Psalms 64:6-7 American Standard Version (ASV)
They search out iniquities; We have accomplished, say they, a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep. But God will shoot at them; With an arrow suddenly shall they be wounded.
Psalms 64:6-7 New International Version (NIV)
They plot injustice and say, “We have devised a perfect plan!” Surely the human mind and heart are cunning. But God will shoot them with his arrows; they will suddenly be struck down.
Psalms 64:6-7 New King James Version (NKJV)
They devise iniquities: “We have perfected a shrewd scheme.” Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep. But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; Suddenly they shall be wounded.
Psalms 64:6-7 Amplified Bible (AMP)
They devise acts of injustice, saying, “We are ready with a well-conceived plan.” For the inward thought and the heart of a man are deep (mysterious, unsearchable). ¶But God will shoot them with an [unexpected] arrow; Suddenly they will be wounded.
Psalms 64:6-7 New Living Translation (NLT)
As they plot their crimes, they say, “We have devised the perfect plan!” Yes, the human heart and mind are cunning. But God himself will shoot them with his arrows, suddenly striking them down.
Psalms 64:6-7 The Passion Translation (TPT)
They search out opportunities to pervert justice as they plan the “perfect crime.” How unsearchable is their endless evil! They try desperately to hide the deep darkness of their hearts. But all the while God has his own fire-tipped arrows! Suddenly, without warning, they will be pierced and struck down.
