They Have Afflicted Me from My Youth
A Song of mAscents.
1“Greatly1 have they pafflicted me qfrom my youth”—
rlet Israel now say—
2“Greatly have they pafflicted me qfrom my youth,
syet they have not prevailed against me.
3tThe plowers plowed uupon my back;
they made long their furrows.”
4The Lord is righteous;
he has cut vthe cords of the wicked.
5May all who hate Zion
be wput to shame and turned backward!
6Let them be like xthe grass on the housetops,
which ywithers before it grows up,
7with which the reaper does not fill his hand
nor the binder of sheaves his arms,
8nor do those who pass by say,
a“The blessing of the Lord be upon you!
We bbless you in the name of the Lord!”
