1 "Greatly have they oppressed me since my youth," * let Israel now say; 2 "Greatly have they oppressed me since my youth, * but they have not prevailed against me." 3 The plowmen plowed upon my back * and made their furrows long. 4 The LORD, the Righteous One, * has cut the cords of the wicked. 5 Let them be put to shame and thrown back, * all those who are enemies of Zion. 6 Let them be like grass upon the housetops, * which withers before it can be plucked; 7 Which does not fill the hand of the reaper, * nor the bosom of him who binds the sheaves; 8 So that those who go by say not so much as, "The LORD prosper you. * We wish you well in the Name of the LORD."
