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.
