he has bent and strung his bow;

13 Ps 64.7 he has prepared his deadly weapons,

making his arrows fiery shafts.

and are pregnant with mischief

and bring forth lies.

and fall into the hole that they have made.

and on their own heads their violence descends.

17 Ps 9.2; 71.15, 16 I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness

and sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High.
