Read the Bible

¹ "Since my youth they have often attacked me,"
let Israel say.
² "Since my youth they have often attacked me,
but they have not defeated me.
³ The plowers plowed my back;
they made their furrows long.
⁴ The Lord is just;
he cut the ropes of the wicked."
⁵ May all who hate Zion
be humiliated and turned back!
⁶ May they be like the grass on the rooftops
which withers before one can even pull it up,
⁷ which cannot fill the reaper's hand,
or the lap of the one who gathers the grain!
⁸ Those who pass by will not say,
"May you experience the Lord's blessing!
We pronounce a blessing on you in the name of the Lord."
