God's protection is a subject of at least thirty-five psalms. The psalms extol God as having special care for His people who are overwhelmed by verbal and physical violence. The lives of the needy He will save. He will rescue their live from oppression and violence. The Psalms show us in a multitude of ways that God takes the side of those oppressed by violence.
Practices concerning bullying are a case in point.
In recent years, schools have paid more attention to stopping bullying, both for the good of the bully and his victims. This attention is long overdue. Persistent bullying in the elementary years can lead to later anti-social behavior, including violence, from both bully and victims. But excusing the perpetrators of school violence in any grade simply feeds school violence. And many young children are not able to deal with constant physical and verbal abuse any more than they can handle calculus.
