1“Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth”— let Israel now say—1A Song of degrees. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
2“Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me.2Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
3The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.”3The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
4The LORD is righteous; he has cut the cords of the wicked.4The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
5May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward!5Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
6Let them be like the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,6Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
7with which the reaper does not fill his hand nor the binder of sheaves his arms,7Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
8nor do those who pass by say, “The blessing of the LORD be upon you! We bless you in the name of the LORD!”8Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
