Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 8. - (Comp. Psalm 55:21.) As an arrow shot out; rather, as a sharpened arrow; but this is based on the marginal reading, and is itself a slightly forced rendering. The Hebrew text (i.e. the consonants), and also the Septuagint and Vulgate, have "as a murderous arrow."

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) An arrow shot out.--Better, an arrow that pierceth, or slayeth.In heart.--More literally, inwardly.
