Psalms 21:13

"For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face."

Key Reflection

This verse suggests that God's divine intervention can thwart and reverse the plans of those who oppose Him, likening their defeat to aiming a bow so that arrows deflect back towards the射手自己。这不仅仅是对敌人的打击,更是彰显了神权能的奇妙作为,显示出即便在看似绝望的情况下,神也能扭转局势,使恶人自食其果。

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Be thou exalted, Lord, in thine own strength -This is the concluding part of the psalm (see the introduction), expressing a desire that God “might” be exalted over all his foes; or that his own strength might he so manifestly put forth that he would be exalted as he ought to be. This is the ultimate and chief desire of all holy created beings, that God might be exalted in the estimation of the universe above all other beings - or that he might so triumph over all his enemies as to reign supreme. So will we sing and praise thy power -That is, as the result of thy being thus exalted to proper honor, we will unite in celebrating thy glory and thy power.
