SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:12

Si no se volviere, él afilará su espada; armado tiene ya su arco, y lo ha preparado.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 7:12

Verse 12. If he turn not ] This clause the Syriac adds to the preceding verse. Most of the versions read, "If ye return not." Some contend, and not without a great show of probability, that the two verses should be read in connection, thus: "God is a just Judge; a God who is provoked every day. If (the sinner) turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready." This, no doubt, gives the sense of both.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 10-17 - David is confident that he shall find God his powerful Saviour. The destruction of sinners may be prevented by their conversion; for it is threatened, If he turn not from his evil way, let him expect it will by his ruin. But amidst the threatenings of wrath, we have a graciou offer of mercy. God gives sinners warning of their danger, and space to repent, and prevent it. He is slow to punish, and long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish. The sinner is described ver. #(14-16), as taking more pains to ruin his soul than, if directe aright, would save it. This is true, in a sense, of all sinners. Let u look to the Saviour under all our trials. Blessed Lord, give us grac to look to thee in the path of tribulation, going before thy church an people, and marking the way by thine own spotless example. Under all the persecutions which in our lesser trials mark our way, let the looking to Jesus animate our minds and comfort our hearts __________________________________________________________________
