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. |
