-
But the wicked will perish: Though the Lord’s enemies are like the flowers of the field, they will be consumed, they will go up in smoke.
-
Many have become my enemies without cause; those who hate me without reason are numerous.
-
My enemies say of me in malice, “When will he die and his name perish?”
-
All my enemies whisper together against me; they imagine the worst for me, saying,
-
Through you we push back our enemies; through your name we trample our foes.
-
but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame.
-
Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies; let the nations fall beneath your feet.
-
Let death take my enemies by surprise; let them go down alive to the realm of the dead, for evil finds lodging among them.

Psalm 56
For the director of music. To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks.” Of David. A miktam. When the Philistines had seized him in Gath.
Be merciful to me, my God, for my enemies are in hot pursuit; all day long they press their attack.
-
Then my enemies will turn back when I call for help. By this I will know that God is for me.
-
Psalm 59
For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” Of David. A miktam. When Saul had sent men to watch David’s house in order to kill him.
Deliver me from my enemies, O God; be my fortress against those who are attacking me.
-
With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.
-
Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you.
-
Psalm 68
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. A song.
May God arise, may his enemies be scattered; may his foes flee before him.
-
Surely God will crush the heads of his enemies, the hairy crowns of those who go on in their sins.
-
Those who hate me without reason outnumber the hairs of my head; many are my enemies without cause, those who seek to destroy me. I am forced to restore what I did not steal.
-
You know how I am scorned, disgraced and shamed; all my enemies are before you.
-
For my enemies speak against me; those who wait to kill me conspire together.
-
May the desert tribes bow before him and his enemies lick the dust.
-
Do not ignore the clamor of your adversaries, the uproar of your enemies, which rises continually.
-
He guided them safely, so they were unafraid; but the sea engulfed their enemies.
-
He beat back his enemies; he put them to everlasting shame.
-
You have made us an object of derision to our neighbors, and our enemies mock us.
-
how quickly I would subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes!
-
See how your enemies growl, how your foes rear their heads.
