Psalm 21:12

Modern English Version

Therefore You will put them to flight; You will aim Your bows at their faces.

Have I sinned? What am I doing to You, O You watcher of men? Why have You set me as Your target, so that I am a burden to myself?

He sent out His arrows and scattered the enemy; He shot out lightnings and vanquished them.

You gave me the necks of my enemies, that I might destroy those who hate me.

You make us turn back from the enemy, and those who hate us have taken spoil for themselves.

Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call; this I know, that God is for me.

But God will shoot an arrow at them; suddenly they will be wounded.

When my enemies are turned back, they will stumble and perish at Your presence.

Take counsel together, but it shall come to nothing; speak the word, but it shall not stand for God is with us.

He has bent His bow and set me as a target for the arrow.
