[1] “Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth,” Let Israel now say—

[2] “Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth; Yet they have not prevailed against me.

[3] The plowers plowed on my back; They made their furrows long.”

[4] The Lord is righteous; He has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked.

[5] Let all those who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned back.

[6] Let them be as the grass on the housetops, Which withers before it grows up,

[7] With which the reaper does not fill his hand, Nor he who binds sheaves, his arms.

[8] Neither let those who pass by them say, “The blessing of the Lord be upon you; We bless you in the name of the Lord!”
