|
1. “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth”— let Israel now say—
|
||
|
|
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
|
||
|
|
2. “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me.
|
||
|
|
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
|
||
|
|
3. The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.”
|
||
|
|
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
|
||
|
|
4. The LORD is righteous; he has cut the cords of the wicked.
|
||
|
|
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
|
||
|
|
5. May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward!
|
||
|
|
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
|
||
|
|
6. Let them be like the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,
|
||
|
|
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
|
||
|
|
7. with which the reaper does not fill his hand nor the binder of sheaves his arms,
|
||
|
|
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
|
||
|
|
8. nor do those who pass by say, “The blessing of the LORD be upon you! We bless you in the name of the LORD!”
