Perfect me, God

Psalm 64:1-10
People sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their words like deadly arrows.
Surely the mind and heart of man are cunning(狡猾).
But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be struck down. He will turn their own tongues against them and ring them to ruin.
All mankind will fear; they will proclaim the works of God and ponder what he has done.
Let the righteous rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in him, let all the upright in heart praise him!
V1-6: The psalmist pictures his trouble.
V 7-9 he expresses his certainty that God will punish all who plot and scheme and slander.
The punishment will fit the offence exactly.
Why?
Tongue of man like swords and deadly arrow aim the others. Surely the mind and heart of man are cunning. How worse the heart of man is!
God is righteous who will judge all of these wicked. So all mankind will fear, they will know the work of God and ponder what they have done. Some will repent and turn to the Lord, but some of them will keep their way and be destroyed.
God is the perfect one!
How?
Fear the Lord! Let the upright in heart praise God!
