Psalms 123:3-4
Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy, for we have had our fill of contempt.We have had more than our fill of the scoffing of the proud and the contempt of the arrogant.
-
Psalms 12:3-5
May the Lord cut off their flattering lips and silence their boastful tongues.They say,“ We will lie to our hearts’ content. Our lips are our own— who can stop us?”The Lord replies,“ I have seen violence done to the helpless, and I have heard the groans of the poor. Now I will rise up to rescue them, as they have longed for me to do.”
-
Psalms 17:8-14
Guard me as you would guard your own eyes. Hide me in the shadow of your wings.Protect me from wicked people who attack me, from murderous enemies who surround me.They are without pity. Listen to their boasting!They track me down and surround me, watching for the chance to throw me to the ground.They are like hungry lions, eager to tear me apart— like young lions hiding in ambush.Arise, O Lord! Stand against them, and bring them to their knees! Rescue me from the wicked with your sword!By the power of your hand, O Lord, destroy those who look to this world for their reward. But satisfy the hunger of your treasured ones. May their children have plenty, leaving an inheritance for their descendants.

Romans 8:35-39
Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?( As the Scriptures say,“ For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”)No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow— not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.No power in the sky above or in the earth below— indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
