[1] Many times have they afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now
say, [2] Many times have they afflicted me from my youth up, Yet they
have not prevailed against me. [3] The plowers plowed on my back. They
made their furrows long. [4] Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the
cords of the wicked. [5] Let them be put to shame and turned backward,
All those who hate Zion. [6] Let them be as the grass on the housetops,
Which withers before it grows up; [7] With which the reaper doesn`t fill
his hand, Nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom. [8] Neither do those who
go by say, "The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in the
name of Yahweh." Psalm 130 A Song of Ascents.
