Psalm 21:12

Young's Literal Translation 1862

For Thou makest them a butt, When Thy strings Thou preparest against their faces.

I have sinned, what do I to Thee, O watcher of man? Why hast Thou set me for a mark to Thee, And I am for a burden to myself -- and what?

And He sendeth His arrows and scattereth them, And much lightning, and crusheth them.

As to mine enemies -- Thou hast given to me the neck, As to those hating me -- I cut them off.

Thou causest us to turn backward from an adversary, And those hating us, Have spoiled for themselves.

Then turn back do mine enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God `is' for me.

And God doth shoot them `with' an arrow, Sudden have been their wounds,

In mine enemies turning backward, they stumble and perish from Thy face.

Take counsel, and it is broken, Speak a word, and it doth not stand, Because of Emmanu-El!'

He hath trodden His bow, And setteth me up as a mark for an arrow.
