¹ A Song of Ascents. "Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth"-- let Israel now say-- ² "Greatly 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 has cut the cords of the wicked. ⁵ May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward! ⁶ Let them be like the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up, ⁷ with which the reaper does not fill his hand nor the binder of sheaves his arms, ⁸ nor do those who pass by say, "The blessing of the LORD be upon you! We bless you in the name of the LORD!"
