¹² Their backs will be turned when you make ready the cords of your bow against their faces.

¹² If a man is not turned from his evil, he will make his sword sharp; his bow is bent and ready.

¹³ He has made ready for him the instruments of death; he makes his arrows flames of fire.

⁴⁰ By you their backs are turned in flight, so that my haters are cut off.

¹² With his bow bent, he has made me the mark for his arrows.

⁷ But God sends out an arrow against them; suddenly they are wounded.

⁹ When I send up my cry to you, my haters will be turned back; I am certain of this, for God is with me.

¹⁰ Because of this we are turned back by the attacker: those who have hate for us take our goods for themselves.

¹⁴ He sent out his arrows, driving them in all directions; by his flames of fire they were troubled.

³ When my haters are turned back, they will be broken and overcome before you.

¹² I was in comfort, but I have been broken up by his hands; he has taken me by the neck, shaking me to bits; he has put me up as a mark for his arrows.

¹³ His bowmen come round about me; their arrows go through my body without mercy; my life is drained out on the earth.

²⁰ If I have done wrong, what have I done to you, O keeper of men? why have you made me a mark for your blows, so that I am a weariness to myself?
