1
A Song of the Ascents. Often they distressed me from my youth, Pray, let Israel say:
2
Often they distressed me from my youth, Yet they have not prevailed over me.
3
Over my back have ploughers ploughed, They have made long their furrows.
4
Jehovah `is' righteous, He hath cut asunder cords of the wicked.
5
Confounded and turn backward do all hating Zion.
6
They are as grass of the roofs, That before it was drawn out withereth,
7
That hath not filled the hand of a reaper, And the bosom of a binder of sheaves.
8
And the passers by have not said, `The blessing of Jehovah `is' on you, We blessed you in the Name of Jehovah!'
