Oppose them and bring them down. With your sword, save me from those evil people.

Psalms 10:4-12
Because he is proud, that evil person doesn’t turn to the Lord. There is no room for God in any of his thoughts.Everything always goes well for him. So he is proud. He doesn’t want to have anything to do with God’s laws. He makes fun of all his enemies.He says to himself,“ I will always be secure.” He promises himself,“ No one will ever harm me.”His mouth is full of lies and warnings. With his tongue he speaks evil and makes trouble.Sinful people hide and wait near the villages. From their hiding places they murder people who aren’t guilty. They watch in secret for those they want to attack.They hide and wait like a lion in the bushes. From their hiding places they wait to catch those who are helpless. They catch them and drag them off in their nets.Those they have attacked are beaten up. They fall to the ground. They fall because their attackers are too strong for them.Sinful people say to themselves,“ God will never notice. He covers his face. He never sees us.”Lord, rise up! God, show your power! Don’t forget those who are helpless.
