Psalms 89:38-45
But You have spurned and rejected him; You have become enraged with Your anointed.You have repudiated the covenant with Your servant; You have completely dishonored his crown.You have broken down all his walls; You have reduced his fortified cities to ruins.All who pass by plunder him; he has become an object of ridicule to his neighbors.You have lifted high the right hand of his foes; You have made all his enemies rejoice.You have also turned back his sharp sword and have not let him stand in battle.You have made his splendor cease and have overturned his throne.You have shortened the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame. Selah

You will not be able to stand against your enemies.You will perish among the nations; the land of your enemies will devour you.

Nehemiah 9:27-37
So You handed them over to their enemies, who oppressed them. In their time of distress, they cried out to You, and You heard from heaven. In Your abundant compassion You gave them deliverers, who rescued them from the power of their enemies.But as soon as they had relief, they again did what was evil in Your sight. So You abandoned them to the power of their enemies, who dominated them. When they cried out to You again, You heard from heaven and rescued them many times in Your compassion.You warned them to turn back to Your law, but they acted arrogantly and would not obey Your commands. They sinned against Your ordinances, which a person will live by if he does them. They stubbornly resisted, stiffened their necks, and would not obey.You were patient with them for many years, and Your Spirit warned them through Your prophets, but they would not listen. Therefore, You handed them over to the surrounding peoples.However, in Your abundant compassion, You did not destroy them or abandon them, for You are a gracious and compassionate God.So now, our God— the great, mighty, and awe-inspiring God who keeps His gracious covenant— do not view lightly all the hardships that have afflicted us, our kings and leaders, our priests and prophets, our ancestors and all Your people, from the days of the Assyrian kings until today.You are righteous concerning all that has come on us, because You have acted faithfully, while we have acted wickedly.Our kings, leaders, priests, and ancestors did not obey Your law or listen to Your commands and warnings You gave them.When they were in their kingdom, with Your abundant goodness that You gave them, and in the spacious and fertile land You set before them, they would not serve You or turn from their wicked ways.Here we are today, slaves in the land You gave our ancestors so that they could enjoy its fruit and its goodness. Here we are— slaves in it!Its abundant harvest goes to the kings You have set over us, because of our sins. They rule over our bodies and our livestock as they please. We are in great distress.

Psalms 71:1-7
Lord, I seek refuge in You; let me never be disgraced.In Your justice, rescue and deliver me; listen closely to me and save me.Be a rock of refuge for me, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock and fortress.Deliver me, my God, from the power of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and oppressive.For You are my hope, Lord God, my confidence from my youth.I have leaned on You from birth; You took me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always about You.I have become an ominous sign to many, but You are my strong refuge.

Deuteronomy 28:31-33
Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will not eat any of it. Your donkey will be taken away from you and not returned to you. Your flock will be given to your enemies, and no one will help you.Your sons and daughters will be given to another people, while your eyes grow weary looking for them every day. But you will be powerless to do anything.A people you don’t know will eat your land’s produce and everything you have labored for. You will only be oppressed and crushed continually.
