my spirit drinks their poison;

the terrors of God are arrayed against me.

12  If a man¹ does not repent, God² will ^gwhet his sword;

he has ^hbent and ⁱreadied his bow;

making his ^jarrows ^kfiery shafts.

and your hand ^ohas come down on me.

12  ^xhe bent his bow ^yand set me

as a target for his arrow.

13  He drove into my kidneys

^zthe arrows of his quiver;
