My enemies hunted me down Like a bird, without cause.
Let not my lying enemies rejoice over me; Or those who hate me without cause wink their eyes.
For without cause they hid their net for me; Without cause they dug a pit for my life.
but...that the word might be filled which was written in their Torah, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’
And Yirmeyahu said to Tsiḏ
Rulers have persecuted me without a cause, But at Your word my heart stood in awe.
They have surrounded me with words of hatred, And they attack me without a cause.
Those who hate me without a cause Are more than the hairs of my head; They are mighty who would destroy me, My lying enemies; What I did not steal, I restored.
In יהוה I have taken refuge; Why do you say to me, “Flee to your mountain like a bird”?
Our being has escaped like a bird From the snare of the trappers; The snare was broken, and we have escaped.
My eye pains my being Because of all the daughters of my city.
