Read the Bible

¹ Since the time I was young,
    enemies have often attacked!
Let everyone in Israel say:
² "Since the time I was young,
    enemies have often attacked!
But they have not defeated me,
³ though my back is like a field
    that has just been plowed."

⁴ The Lord always does right,
    and he has set me free
    from the ropes
    of those cruel people.
⁵ I pray that all who hate
    the city of Zion
    will be made ashamed
    and forced to turn and run.
⁶ May they be like grass
    on the flat roof of a house,
    grass that dries up
    as soon as it sprouts.
⁷ Don't let them be like wheat
    gathered in bundles.
⁸     And don't let anyone
who passes by say to them,
    "The Lord bless you!
    I give you my blessing
    in the name of the Lord."
