Greatly oppressed since I was young
My enemies persecute
ECHO
Greatly oppressed since I was young
My enemies persecute

They plowed my back and dug in deep
But have not overcome.
The Lord is good Who set me free
Their cords He has cut off.

May all who hate Jerusalem
Be turned back in defeat
As useless as the withered grass
Half-grown and good for naught
May all who see them never say,
“May God bless you today.”
