-
Arise, Lord! Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.
-
Lead me, Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies— make your way straight before me.
-
All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
-
then let my enemy pursue and overtake me; let him trample my life to the ground and make me sleep in the dust.
-
Arise, Lord, in your anger; rise up against the rage of my enemies. Awake, my God; decree justice.
-
Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
-
My enemies turn back; they stumble and perish before you.
-
Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies, you have uprooted their cities; even the memory of them has perished.
-
Lord, see how my enemies persecute me! Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,
-
His ways are always prosperous; your laws are rejected by him; he sneers at all his enemies.
-
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
-
and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
-
from the wicked who are out to destroy me, from my mortal enemies who surround me.

Psalm 18
For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord. He sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said:
I love you, Lord, my strength.
-
I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I have been saved from my enemies.
-
He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy, with great bolts of lightning he routed them.
-
He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me.
-
I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
-
You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes.
-
who saves me from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from a violent man you rescued me.
-
Your hand will lay hold on all your enemies; your right hand will seize your foes.
-
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
-
I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.
-
See how numerous are my enemies and how fiercely they hate me!
-
When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall.
