If I rejoiced at the ruin of my hater, and I was excited when evil found him;

And my enemies are lively; they are strong; and my haters increase by deception.

You make us turn back from the adversary; and our haters plunder for themselves.

Her enemies have become as chief; her haters are at ease; for Jehovah has afflicted her for the multitude of her sins. Her children have gone, captive before the enemy.

Jehovah has cast off His altar; He rejected His sanctuary; He has given up the walls of her palaces into the hater's hand. They gave a noise in the house of Jehovah, as a day of meeting.

Jehovah has done what He has purposed; He has fulfilled His Word which He commanded from the days of old. He has thrown down and not pitied. And He caused your hater to rejoice over you; He has set up the horn of your foes.

My haters have hunted me, like a bird, without cause.

The kings of the earth, and all the people of the world, would not have believed that the foe and the hater would go into Jerusalem's gates.

backbiters, haters of God, insolent, proud, braggarts, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

The haters of Jehovah would have been found liars to Him, and their time would have lasted forever.

And He saved them from the hand of the hater, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

My soul has long dwelt with a hater of peace.
