Psalms 140:1. Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
He is wicked at heart, and violent in his temper. Whenever we meet with such an adversary, we have good reason to cry to God: "Deliver me: preserve me." Yet, if we must have enemies, we prefer that they should be bad men; we do not wish to have a child of God against us; if we must have an antagonist, we would much rather that he should be one who is "evil" and "violent."
