"Capital punishment, by definition,is self-protection by the society." I would say also that by definition, capital punishment contains elements of revenge, thus malice.

Self-protection is not malice. Malice is one motivation. Self-protection is another and different motivation.
Life taken for self-protection is an act that has the acceptance of the God of the Bible.
