He has prepared weapons of death, he has his flaming arrows ready.
For the arrows of the Almighty are in me; their poison saps my spirit. God's terrors are lined up against me.
Look, the wicked are drawing their bows, loading them with arrows ready to shoot from the shadows at good people.
Scatter your enemies with flashes of lightning! Let your arrows fly and send them running in confusion!
He fired his arrows, scattering his enemies; he routed them with his lightning bolts.
Your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of your enemies; the nations fall under you.
What they say cuts like swords; they fire off poisonous words like arrows.
But God will shoot them with arrows; all of a sudden they will be wounded.
He has fired arrows from his bow as if he were their enemy; he has used his power against them like an attacker. He has killed all the beloved children; he has poured out his anger like fire on the tent of the Daughter of Zion.
The sun and moon stood still in the sky as your sparkling arrows flew and your spears flashed bright.
You came out to save your people, to save your chosen people. You crushed the head of the house of the wicked, stripping him from thick to neck.
I will pile disasters on them; I will use up my arrows shooting at them.
when I sharpen my shining sword and pick it up to execute judgment, I will repay my enemies and punish those who hate me as they deserve.
My arrows will become drunk with blood, as my sword eats flesh; the blood of those who are killed and captured, the heads of the enemy's leaders.”
Since God does what's right he will deal appropriately with those who cause you trouble.
These people shed the blood of believers. Now you've given them blood to drink, as they deserve!”
They cried out, shouting, “How long, Lord who is holy and true, before you will judge and bring to justice those on earth who spilled our blood?”
