Prayer for the Overthrow of Zion’s Enemies.
A Song of Ascents.
1“1ManyH7227 timesH7227 they have 23persecutedH6887 me from my 4youthH5271 up,” 5Let IsraelH3478 nowH4994 sayH559,2“6ManyH7227 timesH7227 they have 7persecutedH6887 me from my youthH5271 up; YetH1571 they have 8not prevailedH3201 against me.3The plowersH2790 plowedH2790 upon my backH1354; They lengthenedH748 their furrowsH4618.”4The LordH3068 9is righteousH6662; He has cutH7112 in twoH7112 the 10cordsH5688 of the wickedH7563.
5May allH3605 who 11hateH8130 ZionH6726 Be 12putH954 to shameH954 and turnedH5472 backwardH268;6Let them be like 13grassH2682 upon the housetopsH1406, WhichH7945 withersH3001 beforeH6927 it 14growsH8025 up;7With whichH7945 the reaperH7114 does not fillH4390 his 15handH3709, Or the binderH6014 of sheavesH6014 his 16bosomH2683;8NorH3808 do those who passH5674 by sayH559, “The 17blessingH1293 of the LordH3068 be upon you; We blessH1288 you in the nameH8034 of the LordH3068.”
