- «A Song of Ascents.»
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
- Yahweh 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 Yahweh be on you. We bless you in the name of Yahweh."
