Prayer for the Overthrow of Zion’s Enemies. A Song of Ascents. |
|
|
|
1 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up, Let Israel now say,
|
|
2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up: Yet they have not prevailed against me.
|
|
3 The plowers plowed upon my back; They made long their furrows.
|
|
4 Jehovah is righteous: He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
|
|
5 Let them be put to shame and turned backward, All they that hate Zion.
|
|
6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, Which withereth before it groweth up;
|
|
7 Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, Nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom:
|
|
8 Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of Jehovah be upon you; We bless you in the name of Jehovah. |
