They've hurt me plenty
Many times they've afflicted me since my youth — let Israel say it now — many times they've afflicted me since my youth, yet they haven't prevailed against me. The ploughmen ploughed on my back; they made their furrows long. The LORD is righteous; he has cut apart the cords of the wicked. Let all who hate Zion be ashamed and turned back. Let them be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it grows up, which doesn't fill the reaper's hand or the sheaf-binder's arms. And those passing by don't say, 'The blessing of the LORD be on you. We bless you in the name of the LORD.'
They've hurt me plenty since I was young — let Israel say it now — they've hurt me plenty since I was young, and they still haven't beaten me. The ploughmen ploughed on my back. They made their furrows long. The Lord is righteous. He's cut the ropes of the wicked. Let all the ones who hate Zion be ashamed and turned back. Let them be like grass on the rooftops that withers before it's pulled up — that the reaper doesn't fill his hand with, or the one binding sheaves his chest. And the ones going past don't say: The blessing of the Lord be on you. We bless you in the name of the Lord.
Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me. The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows. The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up: Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom. Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
