The Cords of the Wicked 1 Many a time they have persecuted me from my youth— let Israel (he wrestles with God) now declare— 2many a time they have persecuted me from my youth, but they have not prevailed against me. 3The plowmen plowed over my back; 4The LORD {YHWH} is righteous; He has cut me from the cords of the wicked. 5May all who hate Zion 6May they be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can grow, 7unable to fill the hands of the reaper, or the arms of the binder of sheaves. 8May none who pass by say to them, “The blessing of the LORD {YHWH} be on you⁺; we bless you⁺ in the name of the LORD.” The Berean Annotated Bible (BAB) is the Annotated version of the Berean Standard Bible (BSB).
