'Persecuted' in the Bible

The Lord your God will inflict all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.

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

Because he did not remember to show lovingkindness,But persecuted the afflicted and needy man,And the despondent in heart, to put them to death.

All Your commandments are faithful;They have persecuted me with a lie; help me!

A Song of Ascents.“Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up,”Let Israel now say,

“Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up;Yet they have not prevailed against me.

For the enemy has persecuted my soul;He has crushed my life to the ground;He has made me dwell in dark places, like those who have long been dead.
