English Standard Version
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:
From my earliest youth my enemies have persecuted me,
but they have never defeated me.
but they have never defeated me.
“Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth,
yet they have not prevailed against me.
yet they have not prevailed against me.
My back is covered with cuts,
as if a farmer had plowed long furrows.
as if a farmer had plowed long furrows.
The plowers plowed upon my back;
they made long their furrows.”
they made long their furrows.”
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.
The Lord is righteous;
he has cut the cords of the wicked.
he has cut the cords of the wicked.
May all who hate Zion
be put to shame and turned backward!
be put to shame and turned backward!
May they be as useless as grass on a rooftop,
turning yellow when only half grown,
turning yellow when only half grown,
Let them be like the grass on the housetops,
which withers before it grows up,
which withers before it grows up,
ignored by the harvester,
despised by the binder.
despised by the binder.
with which the reaper does not fill his hand
nor the binder of sheaves his arms,
nor the binder of sheaves his arms,
