who whet their tongue like a sword and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words,
Who have whet their tongue like a sword, And have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,
Who have sharpened their tongues like a sword. They aim venomous words as arrows,
Who whet their tongues like a sword, who aim venomous words like arrows,
Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim bitter words like arrows,
who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim bitter words like arrows,
who sharpen their tongues like swords. They aim their arrow—a cruel word—
Hide me from the secret intrigues of the wicked and the open insurrection of evildoers.
Their words cut like swords, and their cruel remarks sting like sharp arrows.
Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, [and] have aimed their arrow, a bitter word;
O hear my prayer: all flesh shall come to thee.
They sharpen their tongues to use like swords. They aim their poisonous words like arrows.
Their tongues are like sharp swords that hurt people. Their cruel words are like arrows that they shoot at people.
They sharpen their tongues like a sword. They shoot poison words like arrows.
who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows,
who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows,

Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword. They aimed bitter speech as their arrow,
who sharpen their tongue like a sword. They bend their bow to shoot their arrows—bitter words,
They cut me down with sharpened tongues; they aim their bitter words like arrows straight at my heart.
Don’t let them find me— the conspirators out to get me, Using their tongues as weapons, flinging poison words, poison-tipped arrow-words. They shoot from ambush, shoot without warning, not caring who they hit. They keep fit doing calisthenics of evil purpose, They keep lists of the traps they’ve secretly set. They say to each other, “No one can catch us, no one can detect our perfect crime.” The Detective detects the mystery in the dark of the cellar heart.
they sharpen their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows—bitter words,
They sharpen their tongues like swords. They aim bitter words like arrows
Hide me from the malicious crowd, the mob of evildoers.

Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword. They aimed bitter speech as their arrow,
Protect me from the council of the wicked, from the band of those who do evil.
They sharpen their tongues like swords and shoot bitter words like arrows.
They sharpen their tongues like swords; they aim their arrows, a slanderous charge,
They make their tongues like sharp swords. They aim their mean words like deadly arrows.
They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.
They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.
Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, And bend their bows to shoot their arrows—bitter words,

who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows,
Who whet their tongue like a cherev, and aim their khitzim (arrows), even davar mar (bitter words);
which have whet their tongue like a sword and shot bitter words for their arrows,
who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows,
who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows,
Hide me from the conspiracy of evildoers, from the tumult of workers of iniquity,
Who sharpen their tongues into swords, who take aim with poisonous words like arrows.
who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,
For they sharpened their tongues as a sword, they bend their bow, a bitter thing; (For they sharpened their tongues like swords, yea, they bent their bows, and shot out bitter words;)
Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their arrow -- a bitter word.
