1   Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say, 2   many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me. 3   The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long. 4   The LORD is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked. 5   Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion. 6   Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up; 7   with which the reaper doesn't fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom. 8   Neither do those who go by say, "The blessing of the LORD be on you. We bless you in the name of the LORD."
