Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: |
|

|
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. |
|

|
The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. |
|

|
Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. |
|

|

|
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. |
