¹ (A song for worship.) Since the time I was young, enemies have often attacked! Let everyone in Israel say: ² "Since the time I was young, enemies have often attacked! But they have not defeated me, ³ though my back is like a field that has just been plowed." ⁴ The LORD always does right, and he has set me free from the ropes of those cruel people. ⁵ I pray that all who hate the city of Zion will be made ashamed and forced to turn and run. ⁶ May they be like grass on the flat roof of a house, grass that dries up as soon as it sprouts. ⁷ Don't let them be like wheat gathered in bundles. ⁸ And don't let anyone who passes by say to them, "The LORD bless you! I give you my blessing in the name of the LORD."
