Contradiction with Job 21:7
Psalm 68:2 suggests the wicked will perish, but Job 21:7 questions why the wicked often live, grow old, and become mighty in power.
Job 21:7: Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 8:14
This verse observes that righteous people get what the wicked deserve, and vice versa, contradicting the swift punishment of the wicked implied in Psalm 68:2.
Ecclesiastes 8:14: There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just [men], unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked [men], to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also [is] vanity.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 12:1
This verse questions why the way of the wicked prospers, contrasting with the destruction of the wicked described in Psalm 68:2.
Jeremiah 12:1: Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of [thy] judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? [wherefore] are all they happy that deal very treacherously? [talk...: or, reason the case with thee]
Contradiction with Habakkuk 1:13
Here, the prophet questions why God tolerates treachery and remains silent when the wicked swallow those more righteous than themselves, contradicting their immediate scattering as implied in Psalm 68:2.
Habakkuk 1:13: [Thou art] of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, [and] holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth [the man that is] more righteous than he? [iniquity: or, grievance]
Paradox #1
This verse mentions the destruction of enemies, which might seem to conflict with teachings about love and forgiveness. While some parts of the Bible emphasize mercy and loving one's enemies, verses like this emphasize judgment and punishment. Such differences can create moral tension between justice and compassion.
