1 | Many
a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: |
2 | Many a time have they afflicted me
from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me. |
3 | The plowers plowed upon my back: they
made long their furrows. |
4 |
The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. |
5 | Let them all be confounded
and turned back that hate Zion. |
6
| Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it
groweth up: |
7 | Wherewith
the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom. |
8 | Neither do they which go by say,
The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD. |
