Psalms 64:7-9
Psalms 64:7-10 The Message (MSG)
The God of the Arrow shoots! They double up in pain, Fall flat on their faces in full view of the grinning crowd. Everyone sees it. God’s work is the talk of the town. Be glad, good people! Fly to GOD! Good-hearted people, make praise your habit.
Psalms 64:7-9 King James Version (KJV)
But God shall shoot at them With an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded. So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: All that see them shall flee away. And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; For they shall wisely consider of his doing.
