Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.

If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.

For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.

{To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves.} My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
