Them

Vindicate me by Your righteousness, O LORD my God, and do not let them gloat over me.

Let them not say in their hearts, “Aha, just what we wanted!” Let them not say, “We have swallowed him up!”

Let them not say in their hearts, “Aha, just what we wanted!” Let them not say, “We have swallowed him up!”

They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from Your river of delights.

Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.

The wicked scheme against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them,

Though the wicked lie in wait for the righteous, and seek to slay them,

…the LORD will not leave them in their power or let them be condemned under judgment.

…the LORD will not leave them in their power or let them be condemned under judgment.

The LORD helps and delivers them; He rescues and saves them from the wicked, because they take refuge in Him.

The LORD helps and delivers them; He rescues and saves them from the wicked, because they take refuge in Him.

For I said, “Let them not gloat over me—those who taunt me when my foot slips.”

Surely every man goes about like a phantom; surely he bustles in vain; he heaps up riches not knowing who will haul them away.

Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders You have done, and the plans You have for us—none can compare to You—if I proclaim and declare them, they are more than I can count.

But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up, that I may repay them.

Send out Your light and Your truth; let them lead me. Let them bring me to Your holy mountain and to the place where You dwell.

Send out Your light and Your truth; let them lead me. Let them bring me to Your holy mountain and to the place where You dwell.

With Your hand You drove out the nations and planted our fathers there; You crushed the peoples and cast them out.

For it was not by their sword that they took the land; their arm did not bring them victory. It was by Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.

For it was not by their sword that they took the land; their arm did not bring them victory. It was by Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.

Your sons will succeed your fathers; you will make them princes throughout the land.

Trembling seized them there, anguish like a woman in labor.

Like sheep they are destined for Sheol. Death will be their shepherd. The upright will rule them in the morning, and their form will decay in Sheol, far from their lofty abode.

There they are, overwhelmed with dread, where there was nothing to fear. For God has scattered the bones of those who besieged you. You put them to shame, for God has despised them.

There they are, overwhelmed with dread, where there was nothing to fear. For God has scattered the bones of those who besieged you. You put them to shame, for God has despised them.

He will reward my enemies with evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them.

Let death seize them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, for evil is with them in their homes.

Let death seize them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, for evil is with them in their homes.

Let death seize them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, for evil is with them in their homes.

God will hear and humiliate them—the One enthroned for the ages—Selah because they do not change and they have no fear of God.

But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.

Before your pots can feel the burning thorns—whether green or dry—He will sweep them away.

But You, O LORD, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations.

Do not kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.

Do not kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.

Do not kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.

By the sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride, in the curses and lies they utter.

Consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, so it may be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob. Selah

Place no trust in extortion or false hope in stolen goods. If your riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.

They hold fast to their evil purpose; they speak of hiding their snares. “Who will see them?” they say.

But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be wounded.

They will be made to stumble, their own tongues turned against them. All who see will shake their heads.

As smoke is blown away, You will drive them out; as wax melts before the fire, the wicked will perish in the presence of God.

The Lord said, “I will retrieve them from Bashan, I will bring them up from the depths of the sea,

The Lord said, “I will retrieve them from Bashan, I will bring them up from the depths of the sea,

There is Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them, the princes of Judah in their company, the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali.

I made sackcloth my clothing, and I was sport to them.

Pour out Your wrath upon them, and let Your burning anger overtake them.

Pour out Your wrath upon them, and let Your burning anger overtake them.

Add iniquity to their iniquity; let them not share in Your righteousness.

Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moves in them.

He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their blood is precious in his sight.

Therefore pride is their necklace; a garment of violence covers them.

Surely You set them on slick ground; You cast them down into ruin.

Surely You set them on slick ground; You cast them down into ruin.

They said in their hearts, “We will crush them completely.” They burned down every place where God met us in the land.

Why do You withdraw Your strong right hand? Stretch it out to destroy them!

We will not hide them from their children but will declare to the next generation the praises of the LORD and His might and the wonders He has performed.

…that the coming generation would know them—even children yet to be born—to arise and tell their own children

They forgot what He had done, the wonders He had shown them.

He split the sea and brought them through; He set the waters upright like a wall.

He led them with a cloud by day and with a light of fire all night.

He split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink as abundant as the seas.

He rained down manna for them to eat; He gave them grain from heaven.

He rained down manna for them to eat; He gave them grain from heaven.

Man ate the bread of angels; He sent them food in abundance.

He rained meat on them like dust, and winged birds like the sand of the sea.

He felled them in the midst of their camp, all around their dwellings.

So they ate and were well filled, for He gave them what they craved.

God’s anger flared against them, and He put to death their strongest and subdued the young men of Israel.

When He slew them, they would seek Him; they repented and searched for God.

And yet He was compassionate; He forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them. He often restrained His anger and did not unleash His full wrath.

They did not remember His power—the day He redeemed them from the adversary,

He sent swarms of flies that devoured them, and frogs that devastated them.

He sent swarms of flies that devoured them, and frogs that devastated them.

He unleashed His fury against them, wrath, indignation, and calamity—a band of destroying angels.

He cleared a path for His anger; He did not spare them from death but delivered their lives to the plague.

He led out His people like sheep and guided them like a flock in the wilderness.

He led them safely, so they did not fear, but the sea engulfed their enemies.

He brought them to His holy land, to the mountain His right hand had acquired.

He drove out nations before them and apportioned their inheritance; He settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.

He beat back His foes; He put them to everlasting shame.

So David shepherded them with integrity of heart and guided them with skillful hands.

So David shepherded them with integrity of heart and guided them with skillful hands.

You fed them with the bread of tears and made them drink the full measure of their tears.

You fed them with the bread of tears and made them drink the full measure of their tears.

So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.

Rescue the weak and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.

…saying, “Come, let us erase them as a nation; may the name of Israel be remembered no more.”

Even Assyria has joined them, lending strength to the sons of Lot. Selah

Do to them as You did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon,

Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.

…so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.

…so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.

I will listen to what God the LORD will say; for He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints; He will not let them return to folly.

You have removed my friends from me; You have made me repulsive to them; I am confined and cannot escape.

You rule the raging sea; when its waves mount up, You still them.

You sweep them away in their sleep; they are like the new grass of the morning—

He will bring upon them their own iniquity and destroy them for their wickedness. The LORD our God will destroy them.
