¹ A song of ascents. “They have greatly oppressed me from my youth,” let Israel say;

² “they have greatly oppressed me from my youth, but they have not gained the victory over me.

³ Plowmen have plowed my back and made their furrows long.

⁴ But the LORD is righteous; he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.”

⁵ May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame.

⁶ May they be like grass on the roof, which withers before it can grow;

⁷ a reaper cannot fill his hands with it, nor one who gathers fill his arms.

⁸ May those who pass by not say to them, “The blessing of the LORD be on you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.”
