Psalms 129:1

Many a time they have persecuted me from my youth— let Israel now declare—

2 many a time they have persecuted me from my youth, but they have not prevailed against me.

3 The plowmen plowed over my back; they made their furrows long.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
