Contextual Meaning

David"s enemies had assailed him with words that they used like deadly arrows, but God would shoot these foes with His arrow of judgment. With it God would make them fall in battle. The NASB is a bit misleading in Psalm 64:8. The NIV is clearer. It reads, "He will turn their own tongues against them."
