Psalms7:11-13 (KJ21)
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. If he turn not, He will whet His sword; He hath bent His bow and made it ready. He hath also prepared for Him the instruments of death; He ordaineth His arrows against the persecutors.

Psalms7:11-13 (NAS)
God is a righteous judge, And a God who has indignation every day. If a man does not repent, He will sharpen His sword; He has bent His bow and made it ready. He has also prepared for Himself deadly weapons; He makes His arrows fiery shafts.

Psalms7:11-13 (NIVUS)
God is a righteous judge, a God who expresses his wrath every day. If he does not relent, he will sharpen his sword; he will bend and string his bow. He has prepared his deadly weapons; he makes ready his flaming arrows.

Psalms7:11-13 (NLT)
God is a judge who is perfectly fair. He is angry with the wicked every day. If a person does not repent, God will sharpen his sword; he will bend and string his bow. He will prepare his deadly weapons and ignite his flaming arrows.

Elohim is the Hebrew word for God, the one who is supreme, great, and mighty. He is the one with the power and authority to judge and pronounce sentence against someone. He governs the just and the upright. He rules them with reason.

The Almighty, full of strength and power, is continually enraged, angry, and indignant against those who are wicked and evil. But if they turn against their wrong deeds and turn towards God, who is their starting point and origin, He will deliver them. He will circumcise them and build them up. He will make them rejoice when they are converted.

However, if these continue to do evil and draw back from the Lord, God will sharpen His sword, string His bow, and gather His arrows. With these He will desolate, kill, and destroy them. These instruments and weapons are prepared to administer death and ruin to God's enemies, who pursue and persecute His people
