"cause terror no more"


What the Bible has to say about the wicked.....

"All his thoughts are...
'There is no God.'
His ways prosper at all times.
He snorts at his adversaries.
The judgement of the Lord is out of his sight.
'I shall not be moved,' he says to himself.

His mouth is full of curses and deceit....
oppression,
mischief,
wickedness.
He kills the innocent.

His eyes stealthily watch for the unfortunate.
He lurks in a hiding place.
He lurks to catch the afflicted.
He catches the afflicted when he draws them into his net.

He crouches,
He bows down and the unfortunate fall.
He says to himself,
'God has forgotten, He has hidden His face, He will never see it.'

Why has the wicked spurned God?
He has said the Himself,
'God will not require it.'

Wickedness...sound familiar to you?
Probably!
Wickedness pervades this earth.

God's answer....
"The Lord is King forever and ever!
O Lord,
You have heard the desire of the humble;
You will strengthen their heart, 
You will incline Your ear
to vindicate
the orphan and the oppressed.
That man who is of the earth may cause terror no more."
The tenth Psalm.
