Oh, That You Would Slay the Wicked

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?
I hate them with complete hatred;
    I count them my enemies.
Psalms 139:19-22 ESV

    Coleen, thank you for sharing The Verses Project with us again. I’m starting to look forward to singing the weekly Scriptures. (No surprise, I’m sure.) 😉
    I also appreciated the points written about the imprecatory psalms. Very interesting and enlightening.
    Thanks again. <3
