Your deadly arrows are ready with flaming tips.
It is only right for God to punish everyone who is causing you trouble,
to rescue your people and save your chosen one. You crushed a nation's ruler and stripped his evil kingdom of its power.
But God will shoot his arrows and quickly wound them.
Send your sharp arrows through enemy hearts and make all nations fall at your feet.
You scattered your enemies with arrows of lightning.
They poured out the blood of your people and your prophets. So you gave them blood to drink as they deserve!”
They shouted, “Master, you are holy and faithful! How long will it be before you judge and punish the people of this earth who killed us?”
The sun and moon stood still, while your arrows and spears flashed like lightning.
Use your lightning as arrows to scatter my enemies and make them run away.
Their words cut like swords, and their cruel remarks sting like sharp arrows.
You tell me, “Watch out! Those evil people have put their arrows on their bows, and they are standing in the shadows, aiming at good people.
The fearsome arrows of God All-Powerful have filled my soul with their poison.
My arrows will get drunk on enemy blood; my sword will taste the flesh and the blood of the enemy. It will kill prisoners, and cut off the heads of their leaders.”
I'll send disaster after disaster to strike you like arrows.
I will take revenge on my hateful enemies. I will sharpen my sword and let it flash like lightning.
He attacked like an enemy with a bow and arrows, killing our loved ones. He has burned to the ground the homes on Mount Zion.
