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

Therefore shalt thou make {H7896} them turn their back {H7926}, when thou shalt make ready {H3559} thine arrows upon thy strings {H4340} against the face {H6440} of them.

For you will make them turn their back by aiming your bow at their faces.

For You will put them to flight when Your bow is trained upon them.

For thou wilt make them turn their back; Thou wilt make ready with thy bowstrings against their face.
