6.14-
Here are some things you can do to join God in doing some good work. Rescuing someone from a violent family situation. Show someone a financial trap they are about to step into. Correct false slander. Fight for justice for the poor.
Psalm 140.
140 Rescue me, Lord, from evil people;
Protect me from violent men
2 Who devise evil things in their hearts;
They continually stir up wars.
3 They sharpen their tongues like a snake;
The venom of a viper is under their lips. Selah
4 Keep me, Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
Protect me from violent men
Who [a]intend to [b]trip up my feet.
5 The proud have hidden a trap for me, and snares;
They have spread a net at the [c]wayside;
They have set snares for me. Selah
6 I said to the Lord, “You are my God;
Listen, Lord, to the sound of my pleadings.
7 [d]God the Lord, the strength of my salvation,
You have covered my head on the day of [e]battle.
8 Do not grant, Lord, the desires of the wicked;
Do not bring about his evil planning, so that they are not exalted. Selah
9 “As for the head of those who surround me,
May the harm of their lips cover them.
10 May burning coals fall upon them;
May they be cast into the fire,
Into bottomless pits from which they cannot rise.
11 May a [f]slanderer not endure on the earth;
May evil hunt a violent person [g]violently.”
12 I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
And justice for the poor.
13 Certainly the righteous will give thanks to Your name;
The upright will dwell in Your presence.
