'Persecutors' in the Bible

“You divided the sea before them,So that they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land;You hurled their pursuers into the depths,Like a stone into mighty and raging waters.

Many are my persecutors and my adversaries,Yet I do not turn away from Your testimonies.

“Give attention to my cry,For I am brought very low;Rescue me from my persecutors,For they are stronger than I.

O Lord, You know and understand;Remember me [thoughtfully], take notice of me,take vengeance for me on my persecutors.Do not, in view of Your patience, take me away;Know that for Your sake I endure [continual] rebuke and dishonor.

But the Lord is with me as a dread champion [one to be greatly feared];Therefore my persecutors will stumble and not overcome [me].They will be completely shamed, for they have not acted wisely and have failed [in their schemes];Their eternal dishonor will never be forgotten.

Judah has gone into exile under afflictionAnd under harsh servitude;She dwells among the [pagan] nations,But she has found no rest;All her pursuers have overtaken herIn the midst of [her] distress.
