What is the Lord’s response to rape?

Psalm 11:5The Lord examines both the righteous and the wicked. He hates those who love violence.

Psalm 12:5The Lord replies, “I have seen violence done to the helpless, and I have heard the groans of the poor. Now I will rise up to rescue them, as they have longed for me to do.”

God hates all violence, and he hates it when his loved ones suffer at the hands of evil people. God sees all that happens, and he will remember those who have acted violently towards others and judge them accordingly.

Psalm 118:5In my distress I prayed to the Lord, and the Lord answered me and set me free.

God has a special place in his heart for those who are abused, oppressed, or victims of violence. He draws near to them, offering them comfort and healing.
