American Standard Version
"They search out iniquities; We have accomplished, say they, a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep. "
— Psalms 64:6, American Standard Version
“They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.”
“They plot injustice, saying, "We have made a perfect plan!" Surely man's mind and heart are cunning.”
“They devise unjust schemes; they disguise a well-conceived plot. Man’s inner thoughts cannot be discovered.”
“Wonderful in justice. Hear us, O God our saviour, who art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and in the sea afar off.”
“Or make discovery of our secret purpose? The design is framed with care; and the inner thought of a man, and his heart, is deep.”
“They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.”
Who have whet their tongue like a sword, And have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,
That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect: Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
They encourage themselves in an evil purpose; They commune of laying snares privily; They say, Who will see them?
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.
So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them: All that see them shall wag the head.
And all men shall fear; And they shall declare the work of God, And shall wisely consider of his doing.
