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 house-tops, 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.
