¹ They have treated me badly all my life.
    (Let Israel repeat this.)
² They have treated me badly all my life,
    but they have not defeated me.
³ Like farmers plowing, they plowed over my back,
    making long wounds.
⁴ But the Lord does what is right;
    he has set me free from those wicked people.

⁵ Let those who hate Jerusalem
    be turned back in shame.
⁶ Let them be like the grass on the roof
    that dries up before it has grown.
⁷ There is not enough of it to fill a hand
    or to make into a bundle to fill one's arms.
⁸ Let those who pass by them not say,
    "May the Lord bless you.
    We bless you by the power of the Lord."
