-
Bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure— you, the righteous God who probes minds and hearts.
-
The trouble they cause recoils on them; their violence comes down on their own heads.
-
The Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates with a passion.
-
Though people tried to bribe me, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent through what your lips have commanded.
-
who saves me from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from a violent man you rescued me.
-
Lord, confuse the wicked, confound their words, for I see violence and strife in the city.
-
My companion attacks his friends; he violates his covenant.
-
No, in your heart you devise injustice, and your hands mete out violence on the earth.
-
He will rescue them from oppression and violence, for precious is their blood in his sight.
-
Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence.
-
Have regard for your covenant, because haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land.
-
if they violate my decrees and fail to keep my commands,
-
I will not violate my covenant or alter what my lips have uttered.

Psalm 140
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
Rescue me, Lord, from evildoers; protect me from the violent,
-
Keep me safe, Lord, from the hands of the wicked; protect me from the violent, who devise ways to trip my feet.
-
May slanderers not be established in the land; may disaster hunt down the violent.
