1. 1"They have afflicted me many a time from my youth" — let Israel now say:
2. 2"They have afflicted me many a time from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me."
3. 3The plowers plowed upon my back; they made their furrows long.
4. 4The LORD is righteous; he has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
5. 5May all who hate Zion be confounded and turned back.
6. 6May they be like grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up —
7. 7with which the mower does not fill his hand, nor the one who binds sheaves his bosom.
8. 8And those who pass by do not say, "The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD."
