140:4 O Lord, shelter me from the power
Protect me from violent men,
who plan to knock me over.
140:11 A slanderer
calamity will hunt down a violent man and strike him down.
18:48 He delivers me
you snatch me away
you rescue me from violent men.
1:2 How long, Lord, must I cry for help?
But you do not listen!
I call out to you, “Violence!”
But you do not intervene!
1:3 Why do you force me to witness injustice?
Why do you put up with wrongdoing?
Destruction and violence confront
conflict is present and one must endure strife.
