But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
All Commentaries on Psalms 64:7 Go To Psalms 64
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
The arrows of children are their wounds. That is, the wounds, stripes, or blows, they seek to inflict upon the just, are but like the weak efforts of children's arrows, which can do no execution; and their tongues, that is, their speeches against them, come to nothing. (Challoner)
Or, children themselves have wounded these crafty politicians, and exposed their folly. (Haydock)
Hebrew is "very perplexed in the last three verses. Let us adhere to the Vulgate and Septuagint, who generally read more correctly than the present Hebrew. "(Calmet) (Berthier)
Yet St. Jerome gives a very good sense. (Haydock)
Wounds. God hath chosen the weak things of this world to confound the strong, (Worthington) and he hath taken the wise in their craftiness. (Menochius)
