7–8The God of the Arrow shoots!
They double up in pain,
Fall flat on their faces
in full view of the grinning crowd.
9–10Everyone sees it. God’s
work is the talk of the town.
Be glad, good people! Fly to God!
Good-hearted people, make praise your habit.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
But God shoots his arrow at them;
they are wounded suddenly.
They are brought to ruin, with their own tongues turned against them;
all who see them will wag their heads.
Then all mankind fears;
they tell what God has brought about
and ponder what he has done.
Let the righteous one rejoice in the Lord
and take refuge in him!
Let all the upright in heart exult!

NIVNew International Version (2011)
But God will shoot them with his arrows;
they will suddenly be struck down.
He will turn their own tongues against them
and bring them to ruin;
all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
All people will fear;
they will proclaim the works of God
and ponder what he has done.
The righteous will rejoice in the Lord
and take refuge in him;
all the upright in heart will glory in him!

CSBChristian Standard Bible
But God will shoot them with arrows;
suddenly, they will be wounded.
They will be made to stumble;
their own tongues work against them.
All who see them will shake their heads.
Then everyone will fear
and will tell about God’s work,
for they will understand what he has done.
The righteous one rejoices in the Lord
and takes refuge in him;
all those who are upright in heart
will offer praise.

NLTNew Living Translation
But God himself will shoot them with his arrows,
suddenly striking them down.
Their own tongues will ruin them,
and all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
Then everyone will be afraid;
they will proclaim the mighty acts of God
and realize all the amazing things he does.
The godly will rejoice in the Lord
and find shelter in him.
And those who do what is right
will praise him.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
But God will shoot them;
with an arrow they will suddenly be wounded.
And they who would cause him to stumble,
their own tongue will be against them.
All who gaze on them will shake.
And then all men will fear,
and will declare the working of God,
and will understand his doing.
The righteous will rejoice in Yahweh and take refuge in him,
and all the upright in heart will boast.

KJV 1900King James Version
But God shall shoot at them with an arrow;
Suddenly shall they be wounded.
So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves:
All that see them shall flee away.
And all men shall fear,
And shall declare the work of God;
For they shall wisely consider of his doing.
The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him;
And all the upright in heart shall glory.
