A Song of Ascents.
[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] 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 Yahweh’s name.”
King James Version
A Song H7892 of degrees. H4609
[1] Many§ a time H7227 have they afflicted H6887 me from my youth, H5271May Israel H3478 now say: H559
[2] Many a time H7227 have they afflicted H6887 me from my youth: H5271
Yet they have not prevailed H3201 against me.
[3] The plowers H2790 plowed H2790 upon H5921 my back: H1354
They made long H748 their furrows. H4618 H4618
[4] The Lord H3068 is righteous: H6662
He hath cut asunder H7112 the cords H5688 of the wicked. H7563
[5] Let them all be confounded H954 and turned H5472 back H268
That hate H8130 Zion. H6726
[6] Let them be as the grass H2682 upon the housetops, H1406
Which withereth H3001 afore H6927 it groweth up: H8025
[7] Wherewith the mower H7114 filleth H4390 not H3808 his hand; H3709
Nor he that bindeth sheaves H6014 his bosom. H2683
[8] Neither do they which go by H5674 say, H559 the blessing H1293 of the Lord H3068 be upon you:
We bless H1288 you in the name H8034 of the Lord. H3068
