A little word of advice – the proper way to use this is to argue philosophically and corner them until they lash out at you. Make sure you can defend yourself mentally before you start a battle. Many of the psalms on this list are just for defense.
I have endeavored to create this list because the darkness in the world today is too strong. It is overpowering the light. “The Lord will protect and preserve him; he will bless him in the land and refuse to surrender him to the will of his foes”.
