'Enemy' in the Bible

Let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it;And let him trample my life down to the groundAnd lay my glory in the dust. Selah.

From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established strengthBecause of Your adversaries,To make the enemy and the revengeful cease.

The enemy has come to an end in perpetual ruins,And You have uprooted the cities;The very memory of them has perished.

How long shall I take counsel in my soul,Having sorrow in my heart all the day?How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

And my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,”And my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken.

He delivered me from my strong enemy,And from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.

And You have not given me over into the hand of the enemy;You have set my feet in a large place.

By this I know that You are pleased with me,Because my enemy does not shout in triumph over me.

I will say to God my rock, “Why have You forgotten me?Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

For You are the God of my strength; why have You rejected me?Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

Because of the voice of him who reproaches and reviles,Because of the presence of the enemy and the avenger.

Because of the voice of the enemy,Because of the pressure of the wicked;For they bring down trouble upon meAnd in anger they bear a grudge against me.

For it is not an enemy who reproaches me,Then I could bear it;Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me,Then I could hide myself from him.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint;Preserve my life from dread of the enemy.

Turn Your footsteps toward the perpetual ruins;The enemy has damaged everything within the sanctuary.

How long, O God, will the adversary revile,And the enemy spurn Your name forever?

Remember this, O Lord, that the enemy has reviled,And a foolish people has spurned Your name.

“The enemy will not deceive him,Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

So He saved them from the hand of the one who hated them,And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

For the enemy has persecuted my soul;He has crushed my life to the ground;He has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead.
