Psalms 7:16

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for Yahweh holds him up with his hand.

He will deliver you in six troubles; yes, in seven no evil will touch you.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all.

Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, your days approach that you must die. Call Joshua, and present yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, that I may commission him.” Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the Tent of Meeting.

About ten days later, Yahweh struck Nabal, so that he died.

For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

Reuben answered them, saying, “Didn’t I tell you, saying, ‘Don’t sin against the child,’ and you wouldn’t listen? Therefore also, behold, his blood is required.”

David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Please bring the ephod here to me.” Abiathar brought the ephod to David.

Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.

The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.

He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. Yahweh, our God, will cut them off.

As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

For they don’t sleep unless they do evil. Their sleep is taken away, unless they make someone fall.

He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but he who searches after evil, it shall come to him.

I have spread out my hands all day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;

“Moreover you shall tell them, ‘Yahweh says: “ ‘Do men fall, and not rise up again? Does one turn away, and not return?

Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.

For when they are saying, “Peace and safety,” then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman. Then they will in no way escape.

Thus God repaid the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did to his father in killing his seventy brothers;

and God repaid all the wickedness of the men of Shechem on their heads; and the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal came on them.

When Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, he came down with an ephod in his hand.

Now therefore, my lord, as Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, since Yahweh has withheld you from blood guiltiness, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies, and those who seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

For indeed, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, who has withheld me from harming you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there wouldn’t have been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall.”

but when this became known to the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked plan, which he had planned against the Jews, should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.

those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.

The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, but the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires.

A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are a snare to his soul.

“ ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “It will happen in that day that things will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before Yahweh. At his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.”

that the violence done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come, and that their blood might be laid on Abimelech their brother who killed them, and on the men of Shechem who strengthened his hands to kill his brothers.

One of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.

David said to Abigail, “Blessed is Yahweh, the God of Israel, who sent you today to meet me!

When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed is Yahweh, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil. Yahweh has returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head.” David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to himself as wife.

When Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the middle of the gate to speak with him quietly, and struck him there in the body, so that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.

Yahweh has returned on you all the blood of Saul’s house, in whose place you have reigned! Yahweh has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son! Behold, you are caught by your own mischief, because you are a man of blood!”

Absalom set Amasa over the army instead of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Ithra the Israelite, who went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah, Joab’s mother.

“Moreover you know also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, even what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war on his sash that was around his waist, and in his sandals that were on his feet.

Yahweh will return his blood on his own head, because he fell on two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword, and my father David didn’t know it: Abner the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.

So their blood will return on the head of Joab, and on the head of his offspring forever. But for David, for his offspring, for his house, and for his throne, there will be peace forever from Yahweh.”

The king said moreover to Shimei, “You know in your heart all the wickedness that you did to David my father. Therefore Yahweh will return your wickedness on your own head.

After these things, when the wrath of King Ahasuerus was pacified, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.

Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.

Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.

God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living.

Deliver me from my enemies, my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me.

For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.

But those who seek my soul to destroy it shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the workers of iniquity from Yahweh’s city.

Take reproach and contempt away from me, for I have kept your statutes.

Deliver me, Yahweh, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man:

Let the wicked fall together into their own nets while I pass by.

In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant.

But the wicked will be cut off from the land. The treacherous will be rooted out of it.

a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief,

An evil man is trapped by sinfulness of lips, but the righteous shall come out of trouble.

for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them.

for their hearts plot violence and their lips talk about mischief.

Take away the wicked from the king’s presence, and his throne will be established in righteousness.

Whoever digs a pit shall fall into it. Whoever rolls a stone, it will come back on him.

Therefore Yahweh says: “You have not listened to me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbor. Behold, I proclaim to you a liberty,” says Yahweh, “to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine. I will make you be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth.

“Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘As I live, I will surely bring on his own head my oath that he has despised and my covenant that he has broken.

Alexander, the coppersmith, did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds,

David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.”

David said, “As Yahweh lives, Yahweh will strike him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle and perish.

Moreover Yahweh will deliver Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines; and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. Yahweh will deliver the army of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines.”

I am weak today, though anointed king. These men, the sons of Zeruiah are too hard for me. May Yahweh reward the evildoer according to his wickedness.”

So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath was pacified.

He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.

He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn’t abhor evil.

There the workers of iniquity are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.

The violence of the wicked will drive them away, because they refuse to do what is right.

for a righteous man falls seven times and rises up again; but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
