1“Too often they have attacked me from my youth.” Let Israel say,
2“Too often they have attacked me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me.
3On my back plowmen have plowed. They have made their furrows long.”
4Yahweh is righteous. He has cut the ropes of the wicked.
5Let all be put to shame and repulsed who hate Zion.
6Let them be like grass on the housetops, that withers before it grows up,
7with which a reaper cannot fill his hand, nor the binder of sheaves his ⌞arms⌟,
8so that passersby do not say, “The blessing of Yahweh be upon you. We bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
