Psalms 125:3

⁵The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers, ⁶who struck the peoples in wrath with a continual stroke, who ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that no one restrained.

⁸He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.

²²No enemy will tax him. No wicked man will oppress him.

¹³No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

¹⁰Don’t be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.

⁸In measure, when you send them away, you contend with them. He has removed them with his rough blast in the day of the east wind.

¹⁰Behold, today your eyes have seen how the LORD had delivered you today into my hand in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared you. I said, ‘I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD’s anointed.’

⁹He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.

⁵Alas Assyrian, the rod of my anger, the staff in whose hand is my indignation!

¹⁴For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.
