| Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: | |
| Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me. | |
| The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows. | |
| The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. | |
| Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. | |
| Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up: | |
| Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom. | |
| Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD. |
