Song of degrees. 1"Many times they have afflicted me from my youth," Israel may now say; 2"Many times they have afflicted me from my youth; yet they have not prevailed over me. 3The plowers plowed upon my back; they made their furrows long." 4The LORD is righteous; He cuts off the cords of the wicked. 5Let them all be ashamed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion. 6Let them be like the grass upon the housetops which withers away before it grows up, 7With which the reaper does not fill his hand, nor the binder of sheaves his bosom. 8Neither let those who pass by them say, "The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD."
