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
