Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God! O men of blood, depart from me! They speak against you with malicious intent; your enemies take your name in vain! Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD? And do I not loathe those who rise up against you? (22) I hate them with complete hatred; I count them my enemies.

Lord, it is equally incredible that Your Mind stands between me all enemies—whether physical or spiritual, guarding me from their evil intent. I am safe and secure from all alarms, safe in Your loving arms. What can man or spirit do to me?
