Many Times They Have Afflicted Me
{A Song of degrees.} Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth -- oh let Israel say --
{A Song of degrees.} Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth -- oh let Israel say --
A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.
From my earliest youth my enemies have persecuted me.
Let all Israel repeat this:
From my earliest youth my enemies have persecuted me.
Let all Israel repeat this:
Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth; yet they have not prevailed against me.
From my earliest youth my enemies have persecuted me,
but they have never defeated me.
but they have never defeated me.
The ploughers ploughed upon my back; they made long their furrows.
My back is covered with cuts,
as if a farmer had plowed long furrows.
as if a farmer had plowed long furrows.
Jehovah is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
But the LORD is good;
he has cut me free from the ropes of the ungodly.
he has cut me free from the ropes of the ungodly.
Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all that hate Zion;
Let them be as the grass upon the house-tops, which withereth before it is plucked up,
May they be as useless as grass on a rooftop,
turning yellow when only half grown,
turning yellow when only half grown,
Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom;
ignored by the harvester,
despised by the binder.
despised by the binder.
