Contradiction with Romans 12:20
While Psalm 68:30 implies subduing adversaries, Romans 12:20 encourages feeding and caring for enemies, bringing an opposite approach of compassion.
Romans 12:20: Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Contradiction with Proverbs 15:1

Proverbs 15:1: A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
Contradiction with James 3:17
Psalm 68:30 speaks of bringing conflict to enemies, whereas James 3:17 emphasizes wisdom that is pure, peaceable, and gentle, contradicting the notion of aggression.
James 3:17: But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. [partiality: or, wrangling]
Contradiction with Matthew 26:52
Here, Psalm 68:30 seems to promote using power to suppress, while Matthew 26:52 advises against violence, emphasizing peace over swordplay.
Matthew 26:52: Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
Paradox #1
Psalms 68:30 calls for God to scatter and rebuke those who delight in war. The potential contradiction or conflict might arise from the idea that, while the verse calls for peace by opposing those who enjoy war, it simultaneously involves a request for divine intervention in the form of punishment or rebuke. This could be seen as inconsistent with the broader religious or moral principle of forgiveness and non-violence.
