The Lord Will

Psalm 64:7

But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

KJV

Read in Psalm 64

Meaning

The psalm transfers vengeance away from the threatened person and portrays God, not the victim, as judge.

The plot is reversed

The weapons of the attackers are answered by divine judgment and their own destructive speech contributes to their fall.

Read carefully

The reversal removes private vengeance from the victim’s hands rather than authorizing it.

Reflection

Choose lawful protection, accountability, and non-retaliation while entrusting final judgment to God.
