Psalms 64:7

Judgment

5 They hold fast to their evil purpose; they speak of hiding their snares. “Who will see them?” they say.

6 They devise injustice and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.” For the inner man and the heart are mysterious.

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

8 They will be made to stumble, their own tongues turned against them. All who see will shake their heads.

9 Then all mankind will fear and proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
