1A song of ascents. Since my youth they have often attacked me-- let Israel say-- 1A Song of degrees. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
2Since my youth they have often attacked me, but they have not prevailed against me. 2Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
3Plowmen plowed over my back; they made their furrows long. 3The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
4The LORD is righteous; He has cut the ropes of the wicked. 4The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
5Let all who hate Zion be driven back in disgrace. 5Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
6Let them be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it grows up 6Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
7and can't even fill the hands of the reaper or the arms of the one who binds sheaves. 7Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
8Then none who pass by will say," May the LORD's blessing be on you." We bless you in the name of Yahweh. 8Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
