2Many a time have they warred against me from my youth: and yet they prevailed not against me.
2many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.
3The sinners wrought upon my back: they prolonged their iniquity.
3The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.
4The righteous Lord has cut asunder the necks of sinners.
4Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
5Let all that hate Sion be put to shame and turned back.
5Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.
6Let them be as the grass of the housetops, which withers before it is plucked up.
6Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,
7Wherewith the reaper fills not his hand, nor he that makes up the sheaves, his bosom.
7with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds 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 those who go by say, “The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in Yahweh’s name.”
