They Have Afflicted Me from My Youth

129A Song of Ascents. “Many times they have assailed me from my youth up,” Let Israel now say,
2
“Many times they have assailed me from my youth up; Yet they have not prevailed against me.
3
“The plowers plowed upon my back; They lengthened their furrows.”
4
Yahweh is righteous; He has cut up the cords of the wicked.
5
Let all who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned backward;
6
Let them be like grass upon the rooftops, Which dries up before it grows up;
7
With which the reaper does not fill his hand, Nor the binder of sheaves the fold of his garment;
8
And those who pass by will not say, “The blessing of Yahweh be upon you; We bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
