Theological / Devotional

Instruments of death. Means of punishing.

Persecutors. Heb. doleqim, from the root dalaq, “to set ablaze.” Hence possibly an allusion to the ancient custom of shooting fiery arrows upon the enemy for the sake of setting their camps on fire and inflicting greater bodily injury. The destruction intended is certain.
