¹ MY oppressors have been many from my youth, may Israel now say;² My oppressors have been many from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me.³ They have scourged me upon my back; they have made long their oppression.⁴ The LORD is righteous; he will cut asunder the cord of the wicked.

⁵ Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.⁶ Let them be as the grass upon the house tops, which pulls out and withers when the wind strikes it,⁷ Wherewith the reaper fills not his hand, nor he who binds sheaves his bosom.⁸ Neither do they who pass by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.
