'Against' in the Bible

Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah:

A Psalm of David, in his fleeing from the face of Absalom his son. Jehovah, how have my distresses multiplied! Many are rising up against me.

I am not afraid of myriads of people, That round about they have set against me.

Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall from their own counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them away, Because they have rebelled against Thee.

He hath not slandered by his tongue, He hath not done to his friend evil; And reproach he hath not lifted up Against his neighbour.

His silver he hath not given in usury, And a bribe against the innocent Hath not taken; Whoso is doing these is not moved to the age!

From the face of the wicked who spoiled me. Mine enemies in soul go round against me.

For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.

For they stretched out against Thee evil, They devised a wicked device, they prevail not,

For Thou makest them a butt, When Thy strings Thou preparest against their faces.

They have opened against me their mouth, A lion tearing and roaring.

Though a host doth encamp against me, My heart doth not fear, Though war riseth up against me, In this I am confident.

Give me not to the will of my adversaries, For risen against me have false witnesses, And they breathe out violence to me.

For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear is round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised,

Let lips of falsehood become dumb, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt.

And -- in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased;

With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing against me their teeth.

For they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the land, Deceitful words they devise,

And they enlarge against me their mouth, They said, 'Aha, aha, our eye hath seen.'

They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me.

By David. Do not fret because of evil doers, Be not envious against doers of iniquity,

The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing against him his teeth.

When I said, 'Lest they rejoice over me, In the slipping of my foot against me they magnified themselves.

To the Overseer, to Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of David. I have said, 'I observe my ways, Against sinning with my tongue, I keep for my mouth a curb, while the wicked is before me.'

With reproofs against iniquity, Thou hast corrected man, And dost waste as a moth his desirableness, Only, vanity is every man. Selah.

I -- I said, 'O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did sin against Thee,'

All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:

Even mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, made great the heel against me,

Judge me, O God, And plead my cause against a nation not pious, From a man of deceit and perverseness Thou dost deliver me,

Hear, O My people, and I speak, O Israel, and I testify against thee, God, thy God am I.

Thou sittest, against thy brother thou speakest, Against a son of thy mother givest slander.

Against Thee, Thee only, I have sinned, And done the evil thing in Thine eyes, So that Thou art righteous in Thy words, Thou art pure in Thy judging.

There they feared a fear -- there was no fear, For God hath scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against thee, Thou hast put to shame, For God hath despised them.

For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah.

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.

He hath sent forth his hands against his well-wishers, He hath polluted his covenant.

Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many are fighting against me, O most High,

For, lo, they laid wait for my soul, Assembled against me are strong ones, Not my transgression nor my sin, O Jehovah.

Till when do ye devise mischief against a man? Ye are destroyed all of you, As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast down.

And they cause him to stumble, Against them is their own tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away.

For mine enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,

An Instruction of Asaph. Why, O God, hast Thou cast off for ever? Thine anger smoketh against the flock of Thy pasture.

He is known as one bringing in on high Against a thicket of wood -- axes.

And they add still to sin against Him, To provoke the Most High in the dry place.

And they speak against God -- they said: 'Is God able to array a table in a wilderness?'

Therefore hath Jehovah heard, And He sheweth Himself wroth, And fire hath been kindled against Jacob, And anger also hath gone up against Israel,

And the anger of God hath gone up against them, And He slayeth among their fat ones, And youths of Israel He caused to bend.

God hath heard, and sheweth Himself wroth. And kicketh exceedingly against Israel.

And He kicketh against the tent of Joseph, And on the tribe of Ephraim hath not fixed.

Jehovah, God of Hosts, till when? Thou hast burned against the prayer of Thy people.

As a little thing their enemies I cause to bow, And against their adversaries I turn back My hand,

Against Thy people they take crafty counsel, And consult against Thy hidden ones.

For they consulted in heart together, Against Thee a covenant they make,

To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?

O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed Thee before them,

They have surrounded me as waters all the day, They have gone round against me together,

On the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite against a stone thy foot.

And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.

They decree against the soul of the righteous, And innocent blood declare wicked.

All the day mine enemies reproached me, Those mad at me have sworn against me.

And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word.

And the anger of Jehovah Is kindled against His people, And He doth abominate His inheritance.

For the mouth of wickedness, and the mouth of deceit, Against me they have opened, They have spoken with me -- A tongue of falsehood, and words of hatred!

And they set against me evil for good, And hatred for my love.

This is the wage of mine accusers from Jehovah, And of those speaking evil against my soul.

Princes also sat -- against me they spoke, Thy servant doth meditate in Thy statutes,

Forged against me falsehood have the proud, I with the whole heart keep Thy precepts.

How many are the days of Thy servant? When dost Thou execute Against my pursuers judgment?

Save for Jehovah -- who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,

If I walk in the midst of distress Thou quickenest me, Against the anger of mine enemies Thou sendest forth Thy hand, And Thy right hand doth save me.

Jehovah, incline Thy heavens and come down, Strike against mountains, and they smoke.
