¹ "Since my youth they have often attacked me," let Israel say. ² "Since my youth they have often attacked me, but they have not defeated me. ³ The plowers plowed my back; they made their furrows long. ⁴ The LORD is just; he cut the ropes of the wicked." ⁵ May all who hate Zion be humiliated and turned back! ⁶ May they be like the grass on the rooftops which withers before one can even pull it up, ⁷ which cannot fill the reaper's hand, or the lap of the one who gathers the grain! ⁸ Those who pass by will not say, "May you experience the LORD's blessing! We pronounce a blessing on you in the name of the LORD."
