2:3 They say, “Let’s tear off the shackles they’ve put on us!
Let’s free ourselves from their ropes!”
7:2 Otherwise they will rip me to shreds like a lion;
they will tear me to bits and no one will be able to rescue me.
18:41 They cry out, but there is no one to help them;
they cry out to the Lord, but he does not answer them.
31:20 You hide them with you, where they are safe from the attacks of men;
you conceal them in a shelter, where they are safe from slanderous attacks.
38:16 I have prayed for deliverance, because otherwise they will gloat over me;
when my foot slips they will arrogantly taunt me.
38:20 They repay me evil for the good I have done;
though I have tried to do good to them, they hurl accusations at me.
43:3 Reveal your light and your faithfulness!
They will lead me,
they will escort me back to your holy hill,
and to the place where you live.
58:10 The godly will rejoice when they see vengeance carried out;
they will bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.
59:12 They speak sinful words.
So let them be trapped by their own pride
and by the curses and lies they speak!
64:5 They encourage one another to carry out their evil deed.
They plan how to hide snares,
and boast, “Who will see them?”
74:8 They say to themselves,
“We will oppress all of them.”
They burn down all the places where people worship God in the land.
83:4 They say, “Come on, let’s annihilate them so they are no longer a nation!
Then the name of Israel will be remembered no more.”
90:5 You bring their lives to an end and they “fall asleep.”
In the morning they are like the grass that sprouts up;
95:8 He says, “Do not be stubborn like they were at Meribah,
like they were that day at Massah in the wilderness,
104:9 You set up a boundary for them that they could not cross,
so that they would not cover the earth again.
104:29 When you ignore them, they panic.
When you take away their life’s breath, they die
and return to dust.
106:38 They shed innocent blood –
the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan.
The land was polluted by bloodshed.
112:10 When the wicked see this, they will worry;
they will grind their teeth in frustration and melt away;
the desire of the wicked will perish.
118:12 They surrounded me like bees.
But they disappeared as quickly as a fire among thorns.
Indeed, in the name of the Lord I pushed them away.
127:5 How blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!
They will not be put to shame when they confront enemies at the city gate.
143:3 Certainly my enemies chase me.
They smash me into the ground.
They force me to live in dark regions,
like those who have been dead for ages.
