- [A song of high degrees.]
- 1
- Israel may now say: they haue troubled me often from my youth vp.
- 2
- They haue troubled me often from my youth vp: but they haue not preuayled against me.
- 3
- The plowemen plowed vpon my backe: they made long forrowes.
- 4
- But God who is iust: hath cut a peeces the snares of the vngodly.
- 5
- All they that beare an euyll wyll to Sion: shalbe confounded, and be made to turne backe from it.
- 6
- They shall be as the grasse growing vpon the house toppes: whiche withereth afore that it be shot foorth [to his growth.]
- 7
- Whereof the mower fylleth not his hande: neither he that byndeth vp the sheaues his armes full.
- 8
- And they which go by, say not so much as the blessing of God be vpon you: we blesse you in the name of God.
