1 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
4 The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.

1 'n Bedevaartslied. Alreeds te veel het hulle my as vyand behandel van my jeug af -- laat Israel dit sê --2 alreeds te veel het hulle my as vyand behandel van my jeug af; tog het hulle my nie oorwin nie.3 Ploeërs het op my rug geploeg; hulle het hul vore lank getrek.4 Die HERE is regverdig: Hy het die toue van die goddelose afgekap.5 Laat hulle beskaamd staan en agteruitwyk, almal wat Sion haat.6 Laat hulle word soos gras op die dakke wat verdor voordat 'n mens dit uittrek,7 waarmee die maaier sy hand en die gerwebinder sy arm nie vul nie.8 Sodat die wat verbygaan, nie sê nie: Die seën van die HERE oor julle! Ons seën julle in die Naam van die HERE.
