Psalms 7:13

11 God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.

12 If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.

He has prepared His deadly weapons; He ordains His arrows with fire.

14 Behold, the wicked man travails with evil; he conceives trouble and births falsehood.

15 He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
