1A Song of Degrees. Many a time have they warred against me from my youth, let Israel now say:
1Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
2Many a time have they warred against me from my youth: and yet they prevailed not against me.
2Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
3The sinners wrought upon my back: they prolonged their iniquity.
3The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
4The righteous Lord has cut asunder the necks of sinners.
4The Lord is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
5Let all that hate Sion be put to shame and turned back .
5Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
6Let them be as the grass of the housetops, which withers before it is plucked up.
6Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
7Wherewith the reaper fills not his hand, nor he that makes up the sheaves, his bosom.
7Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
8Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
8Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we bless you in the name of the Lord.
