1A Song7892 of degrees4609. Many a time7227 have they afflicted6887 me from my youth5271, may Israel3478 now say559:
2Many a time7227 have they afflicted6887 me from my youth5271: yet they have not prevailed3201 against me.
3The plowers2790 plowed2790 upon my back1354: they made long748 their furrows4618 4618.
4The LORD3068 is righteous6662: he hath cut asunder7112 the cords5688 of the wicked7563.
5Let them all be confounded954 and turned5472 back268 that hate8130 Zion6726.
6Let them be as the grass2682 upon the housetops1406, which withereth3001 afore6927 it groweth up8025:
7Wherewith the mower7114 filleth4390 not his hand3709; nor he that bindeth sheaves6014 his bosom2683.
8Neither do they which go by5674 say559, The blessing1293 of the LORD3068 be upon you: we bless1288 you in the name8034 of the LORD3068.
