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. |
