Psalms 13:2-4

2 How long must I take ^acounsel in my soul
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
3 ^bConsider and answer me, O Lord my God;
^clight up my eyes, lest ^dI sleep the sleep of death,
4 ^elest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,”
lest my foes rejoice because I am ^fshaken.

Psalms 35:19-25

19 ^gLet not those rejoice over me
who are ^hwrongfully my foes,
and let not those ⁱwink the eye
who ^jhate me ^kwithout cause.
20 For they do not speak peace,
but against those who are quiet in the land
they devise words of deceit.
21 They ^lopen wide their mouths against me;
they say, ^m“Aha, Aha!
Our eyes have seen it!”
22 ⁿYou have seen, O Lord; ^obe not silent!
O Lord, ^pbe not far from me!
23 Awake and ^qrouse yourself for ^rmy vindication,
for my cause, my God and my Lord!
24 ^sVindicate me, O Lord, my God,
according to your righteousness,
and ^tlet them not rejoice over me!
25 Let them not say in their hearts,
^u“Aha, our heart’s desire!”
Let them not say, ^v“We have swallowed him up.”

Psalms 41:11

11 By this I know that ^wyou delight in me:
my enemy will not shout in triumph over me.

Psalms 56:1

In God I Trust

To the choirmaster: according to The Dove on Far-off Terebinths. A ^xMiktam ^{▼▼Probably a musical or liturgical term} of David, when the ^zPhilistines seized him in Gath.

1 ^aaBe gracious to me, O God, for man ^abtramples on me;
all day long an attacker oppresses me;

Psalms 94:3

3 O Lord, ^achow long shall the wicked,
how long shall ^adthe wicked exult?

Psalms 142:6

6 ^aeAttend to my cry,
for ^afI am brought very low!
Deliver me from my persecutors,
^agfor they are too strong for me!

Isaiah 36:14-20

14 Thus says the king: ^ah‘Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you. 15 Do not let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord by saying, “The Lord will surely deliver us. This city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.” 16 Do not listen to Hezekiah. For thus says the king of Assyria: Make your peace with me ^{▼▼Hebrew Make a blessing with me} and come out to me. Then each one of you will eat of his own vine, and each one of his own fig tree, and each one of you will drink the water of his own cistern, 17 until ^ajI come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and vineyards. 18 Beware lest Hezekiah mislead you by saying, “The Lord will deliver us.” Has any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria? 19 ^akWhere are the gods of ^alHamath and ^amArpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? ^anHave they delivered Samaria out of my hand? 20 ^aoWho among all the gods of these lands have delivered their lands out of my hand, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?’”
