¹ Many a time have they warred against me from my youth, let Israel now say: ² Many a time have they warred against me from my youth: and yet they prevailed not against me. ³ The sinners wrought upon my back: they prolonged their iniquity. ⁴ The righteous Lord has cut asunder the necks of sinners.

⁵ Let all that hate Sion be put to shame and turned back. ⁶ Let them be as the grass of the house-tops, which withers before it is plucked up. ⁷ Wherewith the reaper fills not his hand, nor he that makes up the sheaves, his bosom. ⁸ Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
