The Cords of the Wicked 1Many a time they have persecuted me from my youth— 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 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 be on you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.” The Holy Bible, Majority Standard Bible, MSB is produced in cooperation with Bible Hub, Discovery Bible, OpenBible.com, and the Berean Bible Translation Committee.
