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."
