¹ Israel, tell us how your enemies have persecuted you ever since you were young. ² "Ever since I was young, my enemies have persecuted me cruelly, but they have not overcome me. ³ They cut deep wounds in my back and made it like a plowed field. ⁴ But the LORD, the righteous one, has freed me from slavery." ⁵ May everyone who hates Zion be defeated and driven back. ⁶ May they all be like grass growing on the housetops, which dries up before it can grow; ⁷ no one gathers it up or carries it away in bundles. ⁸ No one who passes by will say, "May the LORD bless you! We bless you in the name of the LORD."
