Psalm 56:7

A Call For God's Protection

⁶
They attack, they hide and lurk,
They watch my steps,
As they have [expectantly] waited to take my life.
⁷ 
Cast them out because of their wickedness.
In anger bring down the peoples, O God! ⁸
You have taken account of my wanderings;
Put my tears in Your bottle.
Are they not recorded in Your book?

O God

Sin

Psalm 55:23

Men of blood and treachery will not live out half their days.
But I will [boldly and unwaveringly] trust in You.

There those who [are perverse and] do evil have fallen;
They have been thrust down and cannot rise.

For I have seen violence and strife in the city.

Let death come deceitfully upon them;
Let them go down alive to Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead),
For evil [of every kind] is in their dwelling and in their hearts, in their midst.

Psalm 94:20-21

Can a throne of destruction be allied with You,
One which frames and devises mischief by decree [under the sacred name of law]?

Ecclesiastes 8:8

There is no man who has power and authority over the wind to restrain the wind,
Nor does he have authority over the day of death;
There is no discharge [from service] during time of war,
And evil will not rescue those who [actively seek to] practice it.

Isaiah 28:15

Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
And with Sheol (the place of the dead) we have made an agreement,
When the overwhelming scourge passes by, it will not reach us,
For we have made lies our refuge and we have concealed ourselves in deception.”

Jeremiah 7:10

and [then dare to] come and stand before Me in this house, which is called by My Name, and say, ‘We are protected and set free [by this act of religious ritual]!’—only to go on with this wickedness and these disgusting and loathsome things?

Jeremiah 10:25

Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not know nor recognize You
And on the families that do not call Your name.
For they have devoured Jacob;
They have devoured him and consumed him
And made his land a desolate waste.

Jeremiah 18:19-23

Pay attention to me, O Lord [and intercede];
Listen to what my adversaries are saying [and are plotting against me]—

Habakkuk 1:13

Your eyes are too pure to approve evil,
And You cannot look favorably on wickedness.
Why then do You look favorably
On those who act treacherously?
Why are you silent when the wicked (Chaldean oppressors) destroy
Those more righteous than they?
