Scripture Post #2,144: *RIGHTING OTHERS’ WRONGS*

 

Psalms 69:4:

“They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.”

David had more enemies (that hated him without a cause), than the hairs on his head. He restored that which he took not away. He rectified that which he was innocent of. He made right a wrong that was never his to begin with!! 

Psalms 69:4 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV):

“I have more enemies than the hairs on my head.

    They hate me for no reason.

    They try hard to destroy me.

My enemies tell lies about me.

    They say I stole from them

    and they demand that I pay for things I did not steal.”

Suffer Yourself To Be Defrauded:

“Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?” ~1st Corinthians 6:7

“And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.” ~Matthew 5:40. 

“But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;” ~Matthew 5:44.
