The archers have bitterly attacked him, and shot at him, and hated him:
24 Tedae Jakob kah samrhang kut rhang neh, Israel aka dawn lungnu rhang neh,
But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel: )
