Psalms 12:3-5
May the Lord cut off all flattering lips, And the tongue that speaks proud things,Who have said,“ With our tongue we will prevail; Our lips are our own; Who is Lord over us?”“ For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, Now I will arise,” says the Lord;“ I will set him in the safety for which he yearns.”

Psalms 17:8-14
Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings,From the wicked who oppress me, From my deadly enemies who surround me.They have closed up their fat hearts; With their mouths they speak proudly.They have now surrounded us in our steps; They have set their eyes, crouching down to the earth,As a lion is eager to tear his prey, And like a young lion lurking in secret places.Arise, O Lord, Confront him, cast him down; Deliver my life from the wicked with Your sword,With Your hand from men, O Lord, From men of the world who have their portion in this life, And whose belly You fill with Your hidden treasure. They are satisfied with children, And leave the rest of their possession for their babes.

Romans 8:35-39
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?As it is written:“ For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
