• Prayer for the Overthrow of Zion’s Enemies.

  • 1 “Many times they have attacked me from my youth up,” Let Israel say,
  • 2 “Many times they have attacked me from my youth up; Yet they have not prevailed against me.
  • 3 “The plowers plowed upon my back; They lengthened their furrows.”
  • 4 The Lord is righteous; He has cut up the ropes of the wicked.
  • 5 May all who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned backward;
  • 6 May they be like grass upon the housetops, Which withers before it grows up;
  • 7 With which the harvester does not fill his hand, Or the binder of sheaves his arms;
  • 8 Nor do those who pass by say, “The blessing of the Lord be upon you; We bless you in the name of the Lord.”
