ASV(i)
1 A Song of Ascents.
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.
