'Persecute' in the Bible

"If you say, 'How will we persecute him?' And 'The root of the trouble is found' in me,

You have turned cruel to me; you persecute me with your hand's might.

because they persecute [those] whom you, yourself, have struck, and they tell of the pain of [those] you have wounded.

How many [are] the days of your servant? When will you execute justice against those who persecute me?

All your commands [are] faithful. They persecute me deceitfully; help me!

Princes persecute me without cause, but my heart trembles because of your word.
