‏ Psalms 64:7

God's Judgments on Persecutors

In these verses, David describes how God will judge those who secretly attack the righteous. Even though his enemies act in secret and are confident, David trusts that God will punish them in ways that match their sins. God’s justice will be seen by all, and it will lead people to fear Him and give Him glory. The righteous will find comfort and joy when they see God’s justice at work.

v. 7: David says, But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded . His enemies attacked secretly, but God will attack them directly and suddenly. God’s judgment is sure and hits its mark, bringing surprise and destruction to the wicked (Psalm 7:13; Psalm 21:12 a).
