Because they are bent on violence, do not let them escape! In your anger bring down the nations, O God!

When the wicked sprout up like grass, and all the evildoers glisten, it is so that they may be annihilated.

Who will rise up to defend me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?

He will pay them back for their sin. He will destroy them because of their evil; the Lord our God will destroy them.

Each morning I will destroy all the wicked people in the land, and remove all evildoers from the city of the Lord.

As for those who are bent on traveling a sinful path, may the Lord remove them, along with those who behave wickedly! May Israel experience peace!

One who acts wickedly pays attention to evil counsel; a liar listens to a malicious tongue.

This is the way of an adulterous woman: she eats and wipes her mouth and says, “I have not done wrong.”

For tyrants will disappear, those who taunt will vanish, and all those who love to do wrong will be eliminated –

“Oh people of Jerusalem, purify your hearts from evil so that you may yet be delivered. How long will you continue to harbor up wicked schemes within you?

Why do you force me to witness injustice? Why do you put up with wrongdoing? Destruction and violence confront me; conflict is present and one must endure strife.

I see the tents of Cushan overwhelmed by trouble; the tent curtains of the land of Midian are shaking.

He has not looked on iniquity in Jacob, nor has he seen trouble in Israel. The Lord their God is with them; his acclamation as king is among them.

For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and presumption is like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has rejected you as king.”

Do not drag me away with evil men, with those who behave wickedly, who talk so friendly to their neighbors, while they plan to harm them!

He plans ways to sin while he lies in bed; he is committed to a sinful lifestyle; he does not reject what is evil.

When someone comes to visit, he pretends to be friendly; he thinks of ways to defame me, and when he leaves he slanders me.

You, O Lord God, the invincible warrior, the God of Israel, rouse yourself and punish all the nations! Have no mercy on any treacherous evildoers! (Selah)

The days of our lives add up to seventy years, or eighty, if one is especially strong. But even one’s best years are marred by trouble and oppression. Yes, they pass quickly and we fly away.

Indeed, look at your enemies, O Lord! Indeed, look at how your enemies perish! All the evildoers are scattered!
