'Cause' in the Bible

For this cause there will be no mercy for sinners when they are judged, and the evil-doers will have no place among the upright,

Send them to destruction, O Lord; let their evil designs be the cause of their fall; let them be forced out by all their sins; because they have gone against your authority.

If I have given back evil to him who did evil to me, or have taken anything from him who was against me without cause;

For you gave approval to my right and my cause; you were seated in your high place judging in righteousness.

Let my cause come to your ears, O Lord, give attention to my cry; give ear to my prayer which goes not out from false lips.

I will give you praise and honour, O Lord, because through you I have been lifted up; you have not given my haters cause to be glad over me.

Because of all those who are against me, I have become a word of shame to my neighbours; a cause of shaking the head and a fear to my friends: those who saw me in the street went in flight from me.

For this cause let every saint make his prayer to you at a time when you are near: then the overflowing of the great waters will not overtake him.

For without cause they have put a net ready for me secretly, in which to take my soul.

Do not let my haters be glad over me falsely; let not those who are against me without cause make sport of me.

Be awake, O Lord, be moved to take up my cause, my God and my Lord.

And he will make your righteousness be seen like the light, and your cause like the shining of the sun.

Put an end to your wrath and be no longer bitter; do not give way to angry feeling which is a cause of sin.

Be my judge, O God, supporting my cause against a nation without religion; O keep me from the false and evil man.

You are fairer than the children of men; grace is flowing through your lips; for this cause the blessing of God is with you for ever.

For this cause we will have no fear, even though the earth is changed, and though the mountains are moved in the heart of the sea;

What cause have I for fear in the days of evil, when the evil-doing of those who are working for my downfall is round about me?

They were in great fear, where there was no cause for fear: for the bones of those who make war on you have been broken by God; you have put them to shame, because God has no desire for them.

Let your name be my salvation, O God; let my cause be judged by your strength.

The evil of their tongues is the cause of their fall; all those who see them are shaking their heads at them.

Those who have hate for me without cause are greater in number than the hairs of my head; those who are against me, falsely desiring my destruction, are very strong; I gave back what I had not taken away.

I am a cause of wonder to those in authority; a song to those who are given to strong drink.

How suddenly are they wasted! fears are the cause of their destruction.

Up! O God, be the judge of your cause; keep in mind the bitter things which the man of evil behaviour says against you every day.

How frequently did they go against him in the waste land, and give him cause for grief in the dry places!

You make us a cause of war among our neighbours; our haters are laughing at us among themselves.

Our fathers did not give thought to your wonders in Egypt; they did not keep in memory the great number of your mercies, but gave you cause for wrath at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

Let those whose cause the Lord has taken up say so, his people whom he has taken out of the hands of their haters;

Words of hate are round about me; they have made war against me without cause.

All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged.

All the sinners of the earth are like waste metal in your eyes; and for this cause I give my love to your unchanging word.

Undertake my cause, and come to my help, give me life, as you have said.

Rulers have been cruel to me without cause; but I have the fear of your word in my heart.

Great peace have lovers of your law; they have no cause for falling.

For the Lord will be judge of his people's cause; his feelings will be changed to his servants.

Are not your haters hated by me, O Lord? are not those who are lifted up against you a cause of grief to me?

I am certain that the Lord will take care of the cause of the poor, and of the rights of those who are troubled.
