then against himself he readies deadly weapons, his arrows into fiery shafts He makes.
הִנֵּ֥ה יְחַבֶּל־אָ֑וֶן וְהָרָ֥ה עָ֝מָ֗ל וְיָ֣לַד שָֽׁקֶר

His mischief will recoil upon his own head, and his violence will come down upon his skull.

I will praise the LORD for His righteousness, and sing a hymn to the name of the LORD Most High.
