Psalm 7:12
“If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 7Meaning
The sharpened sword image is judicial warning meant to press repentance, not a weapon handed to the worshiper.
God as shield and righteous Judge
The warning moves from God's character to the seriousness of unrepentant evil.
Read carefully
The weapon belongs to the divine-judgment metaphor and does not commission human violence or forced conversion.
Reflection
Support accountability and repentance through lawful means.
