1 “Many times they have attacked me from my youth up,”
Let Israel say,
2 “Many times they have attacked me from my youth up;
Yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 “The plowers plowed upon my back;
They lengthened their furrows.”
4 The LORD is righteous;
He has cut up the ropes of the wicked.
5 May all who hate Zion
Be put to shame and turned backward;
6 May they be like grass upon the housetops,
Which withers before it grows up;
7 With which the harvester does not fill his hand,
Or the binder of sheaves his arms;
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.”
