He has also preparedfor Himself deadlyweapons;He makesHis arrowsfieryshafts.
"For the arrowsof the Almightyare withinme, Their poisonmy spiritdrinks;The terrorsof Godare arrayedagainst me.
For, behold,the wickedbendthe bow,They makereadytheir arrowupon the stringTo shootin darknessat the uprightin heart.
Flashforthlightningand scatterthem; Sendout Your arrowsand confusethem.
He sentout His arrows,and scatteredthem, And lightningflashesin abundance,and routedthem.
Your arrowsare sharp;The peoplesfallunderYou; [Your arrows are] in the heartof the King'senemies.
Whohave sharpenedtheir tonguelike a sword.They aimedbitterspeech[as] their arrow,
But Godwill shootat them with an arrow;Suddenlythey will be wounded.
He has bentHis bowlike an enemy;He has setHis righthandlike an adversaryAnd slainallthat were pleasantto the eye;In the tentof the daughterof ZionHe has pouredout His wrathlike fire.
Sun[and] moonstoodin their places;They wentaway at the lightof Your arrows,At the radianceof Your gleamingspear.
You wentforthfor the salvationof Your people,For the salvationof Your anointed.You struckthe headof the houseof the evilTo layhim openfrom thighto neck.Selah.
I will heapmisfortuneson them; I will useMy arrowson them.
IfI sharpenMy flashingsword,And My handtakesholdon justice,I will rendervengeanceon My adversaries,And I will repaythose who hateMe.
I will make My arrowsdrunkwith blood,And My swordwill devourflesh,With the bloodof the slainand the captives,From the long-hairedleadersof the enemy.'
For after allit is [only] justfor Godto repaywith afflictionthosewho afflictyou,
for they pouredout the bloodof saintsand prophets,and You have giventhem bloodto drink.They deserveit."
and they criedout with a loudvoice,saying,"How long,O Lord,holyand true,will You refrainfrom judgingand avengingour bloodon thosewho dwellon the earth?"
