**1 **\{A Song of degrees.} Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

**2 **Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

**3 **The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

**4 **The LORD *is* righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

**5 **Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

**6 **Let them be as the grass *upon* the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

**7 **Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

**8 **Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD *be* upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
