Psalm 7:13

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

He also hath for him prepar'd the instruments of death; Against the persecutors he his shafts ordained hath.

See the chapter Copy

God shall an arrow shoot at them, and wound them suddenly:

Thine arrows sharply pierce the heart of th' en'mies of the King; And under thy subjection the people down do bring.

Yea, he his arrows sent abroad, and them he scattered; His lightnings also he shot out, and them discomfited.

Cast forth thy lightning, scatter them; thine arrows shoot, them rout.

Who do their tongues with malice whet, and make them cut like swords; In whose bent bows are arrows set, ev'n sharp and bitter words:

For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, their shafts on string they fit, That those who upright are in heart they privily may hit.
