[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.
