-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord.

Psalm 30
A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple. Of David.
I will exalt you, Lord, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
-
Because of all my enemies, I am the utter contempt of my neighbors and an object of dread to my closest friends— those who see me on the street flee from me.
-
My times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me.
-
Do not let those gloat over me who are my enemies without cause; do not let those who hate me without reason maliciously wink the eye.
