Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
David challenges his enemies with a piercing question: Do you yourselves not see the justice of my cause? When a man's innocence is evident enough to appeal to his very accusers, he stands on solid ground. He exposes their calumnies by demanding their own testimony to his integrity.

Commenting on Psalm 58:1-11
Let them vanish like water in summer heat, dried up and forgotten, gone where no one can find them again. When the ungodly man draws his bow to strike, let his arrows fall to pieces, his string snap, his points shatter, so he has nothing left to wound with.
AI summary
Break their teeth so they cannot prey on others, as lions live by rapine. Let their arrows fall at their feet and miss the mark entirely. Let them waste away like a flood that soaks into the ground and vanishes, water spilled that cannot be gathered up again.
