## Resource

Psalm 64: The Arrows That Return The wicked in this psalm are expert marksmen. They whet their tongues like swords, bend their bows to shoot bitter words, aim at the innocent from hidden places, and congratulate themselves on their cleverness: "Who shall see them?" It is a portrait of calculated cruelty — not hot-blooded rage but cold, methodical destruction carried out in secret. And David's prayer is not that God would build a better shield but that God would use the enemy's own weapon against them. "God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded." The symmetry is devastating: they shoot in secret, God shoots suddenly. They thought themselves invisible; they are exposed. Their own tongue falls upon themselves. There is a moral architecture to the universe, this psalm insists — the arrow you aim in darkness has a way of finding its way back. And the righteous, who had no arrows of their own, shall be glad in the Lord. 00:00 The Secret Counsel of the Wicked 01:00 God Shall Shoot at Them with an Arrow
