"Touch not mine anointed" originates from the Bible, specifically Psalm 105:15 and 1 Chronicles 16:22. It's a divine warning against harming or interfering with individuals chosen by God for specific purposes. The scripture emphasizes God's protection over those He has designated as His "anointed". In both the Old Testament passages, the phrase is part of a larger narrative where God is protecting the Israelites, particularly their leaders and prophets, from harm and oppression. The phrase "touch not" doesn't just mean physical harm, but also encompasses any form of interference, opposition, or malicious intent directed towards God's chosen ones. 

Psalm 22:1-10 (NIV)

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?(A) Why are you so far(B) from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish?(C) 2 My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer,(D) by night,(E) but I find no rest.[b]

3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One;(F) you are the one Israel praises.[c](G) 4 In you our ancestors put their trust; they trusted and you delivered them.(H) 5 To you they cried out(I) and were saved; in you they trusted(J) and were not put to shame.(K)

6 But I am a worm(L) and not a man, scorned by everyone,(M) despised(N) by the people. 7 All who see me mock me;(O) they hurl insults,(P) shaking their heads.(Q) 8 “He trusts in the Lord,” they say, “let the Lord rescue him.(R) Let him deliver him,(S) since he delights(T) in him.”

9 Yet you brought me out of the womb;(U) you made me trust(V) in you, even at my mother’s breast. 10 From birth(W) I was cast on you; from my mother’s womb you have been my God.

Psalm 21 (NIV)

21 The king shall joy in thy strength, O Lord; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.

3 For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.

4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.

5 His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him.

6 For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance.

7 For the king trusteth in the Lord, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.

8 Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.

9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the Lord shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

11 For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.

13 Be thou exalted, Lord, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.

Psalm 20 (NIV)

1 May the Lord answer you when you are in distress;(A) may the name of the God of Jacob(B)protect you.(C) 2 May he send you help(D) from the sanctuary(E) and grant you support(F) from Zion.(G) 3 May he remember(H) all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings.[b](I) 4 May he give you the desire of your heart(J) and make all your plans succeed.(K) 5 May we shout for joy(L) over your victory and lift up our banners(M) in the name of our God.

May the Lord grant all your requests.(N)

6 Now this I know: The Lord gives victory to his anointed.(O) He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary with the victorious power of his right hand.(P) 7 Some trust in chariots(Q) and some in horses,(R) but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.(S) 8 They are brought to their knees and fall,(T) but we rise up(U) and stand firm.(V) 9 Lord, give victory to the king! Answer us(W) when we call!

Psalm 19:1-14 (NIV)

The heavens(A) declare(B) the glory of God;(C) the skies(D) proclaim the work of his hands.(E) 2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.(F) 3 They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. 4 Yet their voice[b] goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.(G) In the heavens God has pitched a tent(H) for the sun.(I) 5 It is like a bridegroom(J) coming out of his chamber,(K) like a champion(L) rejoicing to run his course. 6 It rises at one end of the heavens(M) and makes its circuit to the other;(N) nothing is deprived of its warmth.

7 The law of the Lord(O) is perfect,(P) refreshing the soul.(Q) The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,(R) making wise the simple.(S) 8 The precepts of the Lord are right,(T) giving joy(U) to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes.(V) 9 The fear of the Lord(W) is pure, enduring forever. The decrees of the Lord are firm, and all of them are righteous.(X)

10 They are more precious than gold,(Y) than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey,(Z) than honey from the honeycomb.(AA) 11 By them your servant is warned; in keeping them there is great reward. 12 But who can discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults.(AB) 13 Keep your servant also from willful sins;(AC) may they not rule over me.(AD) Then I will be blameless,(AE) innocent of great transgression.

14 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing(AF) in your sight, Lord, my Rock(AG) and my Redeemer.

Psalm 18:41-50 (NIV) 41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them(CJ)— to the Lord, but he did not answer.(CK) 42 I beat them as fine as windblown dust;(CL) I trampled them[f] like mud in the streets. 43 You have delivered me from the attacks of the people; you have made me the head of nations.(CM) People I did not know(CN) now serve me, 44 foreigners(CO) cower before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me. 45 They all lose heart;(CP) they come trembling(CQ) from their strongholds.(CR)

46 The Lord lives!(CS) Praise be to my Rock!(CT) Exalted be God(CU) my Savior!(CV) 47 He is the God who avenges(CW) me, who subdues nations(CX) under me, 48 who saves(CY) me from my enemies.(CZ) You exalted me above my foes; from a violent man(DA) you rescued me. 49 Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;(DB) I will sing(DC) the praises of your name.(DD)
