¹ [A song of degrees.] Many a time haue they afflicted me from my youth: may Israel now say. ² Many a time haue they afflicted me from my youth: yet they haue not preuailed against mee. ³ The plowers plowed vpon my backe: they made long their furrowes. ⁴ The Lord is righteous: hee hath cut asunder the cordes of the wicked.

⁵ Let them all be confounded and turned backe, that hate Zion. ⁶ Let them bee as the grasse vpon the house tops: which withereth afore it groweth vp: ⁷ Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor hee that bindeth sheaues, his bosome. ⁸ Neither doe they which goe by, say, The blessing of the Lord be vpon you: wee blesse you in the Name of the Lord.
