You will break them with an iron rod; you will shatter them in pieces like a clay pot.' "

How I love you, LORD! You are my defender.

The peoples of the desert will bow down before him; his enemies will throw themselves to the ground.

His enemies will never succeed against him; the wicked will not defeat him.

I will crush his foes and kill everyone who hates him.

The LORD said to my lord, "Sit here at my right side until I put your enemies under your feet."

From Zion the LORD will extend your royal power. "Rule over your enemies," he says.

If anyone should attack you and try to kill you, the LORD your God will keep you safe, as someone guards a precious treasure. As for your enemies, however, he will throw them away, as someone hurls stones with a sling.

The fighting was heavy around Saul, and he himself was hit by enemy arrows and badly wounded.

King David was settled in his palace, and the LORD kept him safe from all his enemies.

Even if they dig their way down to the world of the dead, I will catch them. Even if they climb up to heaven, I will bring them down.

If they hide on the top of Mount Carmel, I will search for them and catch them. If they hide from me at the bottom of the sea, I will command the sea monster to bite them.

Now, his own people hated him, and so they sent messengers after him to say, 'We don't want this man to be our king.'

Now, as for those enemies of mine who did not want me to be their king, bring them here and kill them in my presence!' "

For Christ must rule until God defeats all enemies and puts them under his feet.

Anyone who disobeys the Law of Moses is put to death without any mercy when judged guilty from the evidence of two or more witnesses.

What, then, of those who despise the Son of God? who treat as a cheap thing the blood of God's covenant which purified them from sin? who insult the Spirit of grace? Just think how much worse is the punishment they will deserve!

Out of his mouth came a sharp sword, with which he will defeat the nations. He will rule over them with a rod of iron, and he will trample out the wine in the wine press of the furious anger of the Almighty God.
