'Persecuted' in the Bible

For they have persecuted him whom You Yourself have smitten,And they tell of the pain of those whom You have wounded.

Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.

All of your commands are reliable. I am persecuted without cause help me!

SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.

"Since my youth they have often persecuted me," let Israel repeat it,

"Since my youth they have often persecuted me, yet they haven't defeated me.

For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
