Psalms 7:15
13 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.
He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making.
16 His trouble recoils on himself, and his violence falls on his own head.
17 I will thank the LORD for His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
