| 7 | Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces. | May they vanish like water that runs off; when they draw the bow, may their arrows be blunted. | Let them melt away as water that runneth apace: When he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off. |
