Psalm 64:8
Context
8So they will make him stumble;
         Their own tongue is against them;
         All who see them will shake the head.

9Then all men will fear,
         And they will declare the work of God,
         And will consider what He has done.

10The righteous man will be glad in the LORD and will take refuge in Him;
         And all the upright in heart will glory.
