The snares of the wicked

1
Many a time they have persecuted me from my youth let Israel now declare—
2
many a time they have persecuted me from my youth, but they have not prevailed against me.
3
The plowmen plowed over my back; they made their furrows long.
4
The LORD is righteous; He has cut me from the cords of the wicked.
5
May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame.
6
May they be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can grow,
7
unable to fill the hands of the reaper, or the arms of the binder of sheaves.
8
May none who pass by say to them,The blessing of the LORD be on you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.”
