“We pray, oh Lord, that the civil magistrate, as Romans 13 teaches, might be a defense for those who do good and bear the sword against those who do evil. And even as we pray for justice, we are also mindful of Proverbs 24 ‘do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let your heart be glad when he stumbles, lest the Lord see it, and be displeased, and turn away his anger from him.’” - Kevin DeYoung
