1. The Cords of the Wicked

2. 1UDBI say that my enemies have afflicted me ever since I was young. Now I ask you, my fellow Israelites, to repeat those same words:BSBBSB: A song of ascents. Many a time they have persecuted me from my youth—let Israel now declare—
3. 2UDB"Our enemies have afflicted us since our nation began, but they have not defeated us!BSBBSB: many a time they have persecuted me from my youth, but they have not prevailed against me.
4. 3UDBOur enemies struck us with whips that cut into our backs as a farmer uses a plow to cuts deep furrows into the ground."BSBBSB: The plowmen plowed over my back; they made their furrows long.
5. 4UDBBut Yahweh is righteous, and he has freed us from being slaves to wicked people.BSBBSB: The LORD is righteous; He has cut me from the cords of the wicked.
6. 5UDBI wish that they may all be shamed because we will defeat them—all of Jerusalem's enemies.BSBBSB: May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame.
7. 6UDBI hope that they may be of no value, like grass that grows on the roofs of houses, that dries up and does not grow tall;BSBBSB: May they be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can grow,
8. 7UDBno one wants to cut it and tie it up as bundles and carry it away.BSBBSB: unable to fill the hands of the reaper, or the arms of the binder of sheaves.
9. 8UDBPeople who pass by and see men harvesting grain usually greet them by saying to them, "We wish that Yahweh may bless you!" But this will not happen to the enemies of Israel. We, acting as Yahweh's representatives, bless you, our fellow Israelites!BSBBSB: 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.”
