Psalms 59:12-13 (Amplified Bible)

59:12 For the sin of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them even be trapped and taken in their pride, and for the cursing and lying which they utter.

59:13 Consume them in wrath, consume them so that they shall be no more; and let them know unto the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob (Israel). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

68:23 That you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their share from the foe.

This is a future event about our enemies, what GOD will do to them and what we will do to them. But even now, they are being depressed by GOD.

Because our enemies will never change.

Psalms 73:5-6 (Amplified Bible)

73:5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they smitten and plagued like other men.

73:6 Therefore pride is about their necks like a chain; violence covers them like a garment [like a long, luxurious robe].

Proverbs 1:32 (Amplified Bible)

1:32 For the backsliding of the simple shall slay them, and the careless ease of [self-confident] fools shall destroy them.

1:12 And at that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish the men who [like old wine] are thickening and settling on their lees, who say in their hearts, The Lord will not do good, nor will He do evil.

These are unbelievers, never make believers your enemies for they will receive these punishments from GOD.

IX. CONCLUSION:

Psalms 124:2-4 (Amplified Bible)

124:2 If it had not been the Lord Who was on our side when men rose up against us,

124:3 Then they would have quickly swallowed us up alive when their wrath was kindled against us;

124:4 Then the waters would have overwhelmed us and swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us;

GOD will hear our prayers and afflict (depress) our enemies because they don't change and they don't fear GOD.

Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You will depress my enemies as part of vengeance among them because they don't fear GOD.
