Book
Chapter
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."
