7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
7 But God will shoot them with his arrows; they will suddenly be struck down.
7 But God shoots his arrow at them; they are wounded suddenly.
7 The God of the Arrow shoots! They double up in pain,
7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; Suddenly they shall be wounded.
7 But God himself will shoot them with his arrows, suddenly striking them down.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 64:7
Commentary on Psalm 64:7-10
(Read Psalm 64:7-10)
When God brings upon men the mischiefs they have desired on others, it is weight enough to sink a man to the lowest hell. Those who love cursing, it shall come upon them. Those who behold this shall understand, and observe God's hand in all; unless we do so, we are not likely to profit by the dispensations of Providence. The righteous shall be glad in the Lord; not glad of the misery and ruin of their fellow-creatures, but glad that God is glorified, and his word fulfilled, and the cause of injured innocence pleaded effectually. They rejoice not in men, nor in themselves, nor in any creature, or creature enjoyments, nor in their wisdom, strength, riches, or righteousness; but in Christ, in whom all the seed of Israel are justified and glory, and in what he is to them, and has done for them.
