The Key Word — וַיַּכְשִׁיל֣וּהוּ, vai.yakh.shi.Lu.hugenerated
The verb כָּשַׁל (kashal) means to stumble or fall, often due to weakness. In this context, it indicates that those who conspire will be caused to fail, emphasizing a divine intervention in their plans.
The construction here indicates that the subjects are not just stumbling physically but are also failing in their intentions. The hiphil form shows that they are made to stumble by external forces, likely God's judgment.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb is וַיַּכְשִׁיל֣וּ, and they caused to stumble, which governs the rest of the sentence. The structure indicates that the subjects (the conspirators) are the ones causing the stumbling, while their own tongues are implicated in their downfall.
The sentence has a straightforward flow, with the main action followed by the consequences and observations of onlookers, emphasizing the chain reaction of their actions leading to public disgrace.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew verb כָּשַׁל is rendered as ὑψωθήσεται, which suggests a lifting up rather than stumbling. This choice may reflect an interpretative angle where the focus is on the elevation of God's justice rather than the downfall of the wicked.
This translation choice indicates a potential widening of meaning, where the emphasis is placed on the outcome of divine justice rather than the immediate failure of the wicked.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7, 8) The meaning of these verses is clear. In the moment of their imagined success, their deeply-laid schemes just on the point of ripening, a sudden Divine retribution overtakes the wicked, and all their calumnies, invented with such cunning, fall back on their own heads. But the construction is most perplexing. The text presents a tangled maze of abrupt clauses, which, arranged according to the accents, run: And God shoots an arrow, sudden are their wounds, and they make it (or him) fall on themselves their tongue. The last clause seems to pronounce the law which obtains in Divine judgment. While God orders the retribution it is yet the recoil of their own evil on the guilty. In these…

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text (MT) of Psalms 64:8 states, "וַיַּכְשִׁיל֣וּהוּ עָלֵ֣ימוֹ לְשׁוֹנָ֑ם יִ֝תְנֹדֲד֗וּ כָּל־ רֹ֥אֵה בָֽם׃" which translates to, "They will be made to stumble, their own tongues turned against them. All who see will shake their heads." The Septuagint (LXX) provides a different structure and wording, and while it shares some concepts, it does not align directly with the MT in terms of phrasing. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls do not provide additional relevant witnesses for this specific verse, so the primary comparison remains between the MT and the LXX, with the latter differing significantly in its expression of the ideas presented in the MT.
וַיַּכְשִׁיל֣וּהוּ עָלֵ֣ימוֹ לְשׁוֹנָ֑ם יִ֝תְנֹדֲד֗וּ כָּל־ רֹ֥אֵה בָֽם׃
