An appropriate (and Biblical) prayer it seems to me as we near the election season and encounter the “vitriolic” that is characteristic of politics… “Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men; preserve me from violent men, who plan evil things in their heart and stir up things continually! They make their tongue sharp as a serpent’s and under their lips is the venom of asps. Guard me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from violent men!” (From a prayer of David in Psalm 140)
