'Enemy' in the Bible

An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down to the earth my life, And my honour placeth in the dust. Selah.

From the mouths of infants and sucklings Thou hast founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger.

O thou Enemy, Finished have been destructions for ever, As to cities thou hast plucked up, Perished hath their memorial with them.

Till when do I set counsels in my soul? Sorrow in my heart daily? Till when is mine enemy exalted over me?

Lest mine enemy say, 'I overcame him,' Mine adversaries joy when I am moved.

He delivereth me from my strong enemy, And from those hating me, For they have been stronger than I.

And Thou hast not shut me up, Into the hand of an enemy, Thou hast caused my feet to stand in a broad place.

By this I have known, That Thou hast delighted in me, Because my enemy shouteth not over me.

I say to God my rock, 'Why hast Thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning in the oppression of an enemy?

For thou art the God of my strength. Why hast Thou cast me off? Why mourning do I go up and down, In the oppression of an enemy?

Because of the voice of a reproacher and reviler, Because of an enemy and a self-avenger.

Because of the voice of an enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked, For they cause sorrow to move against me, And in anger they hate me.

For an enemy reproacheth me not, or I bear it, He who is hating me Hath not magnified himself against me, Or I hide from him.

For Thou hast been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.

To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice, in my meditation, From the fear of an enemy Thou keepest my life,

Lift up Thy steps to the perpetual desolations, Everything the enemy did wickedly in the sanctuary.

Till when, O God, doth an adversary reproach? Doth an enemy despise thy name for ever?

Remember this -- an enemy reproached Jehovah, And a foolish people have despised Thy name.

An enemy exacteth not upon him, And a son of perverseness afflicteth him not.

And He saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeemeth them from the hand of the enemy.

For an enemy hath pursued my soul, He hath bruised to the earth my life, He hath caused me to dwell in dark places, As the dead of old.
