'Violent' in the Bible
As for the deeds of men, by the word of Your lipsI have kept from the paths of the violent.
He delivers me from my enemies;Surely You lift me above those who rise up against me;You rescue me from the violent man.
Look upon my enemies, for they are many,And they hate me with violent hatred.
I have seen a wicked, violent manSpreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil.
For strangers have risen against meAnd violent men have sought my life;They have not set God before them. Selah.
O God, arrogant men have risen up against me,And a band of violent men have sought my life,And they have not set You before them.
For the choir director. A Psalm of David.Rescue me, O Lord, from evil men;Preserve me from violent men
Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;Preserve me from violent menWho have purposed to trip up my feet.
“May a slanderer not be established in the earth;May evil hunt the violent man speedily.”
