'Enemies' in the Bible

Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God!For You have smitten all my enemies on the cheek;You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.

All my enemies will be ashamed and greatly dismayed;They shall turn back, they will suddenly be ashamed.

When my enemies turn back,They stumble and perish before You.

From the wicked who despoil me,My deadly enemies who surround me.
