Psalm 21:12

The Passion Translation

They will turn and run at the sight of your judgment-arrows aimed straight at their hearts.

See the chapter Copy

You’ve made them all turn tail and run, for through you I’ve destroyed them all!

But all the while God has his own fire-tipped arrows! Suddenly, without warning, they will be pierced and struck down.

He has drawn back his bowstring and used me as a target for his arrows.

The very moment I call to you for a father’s help the tide of battle turns and my enemies flee. This one thing I know: God is on my side!

We retreat before our enemies in defeat, for you are no longer helping us. Those who hate us have invaded our land and plundered our people.

For when you appear, I worship you while my enemies run in retreat. They stumble and perish before your presence.

He released his lightning-arrows, and routed my foes. See how they ran and scattered in fear!

Go ahead, hatch a plot, but it will be foiled! Go ahead, speak a word, but it will not stand, for God is with us!
