A song of ascents.

1 They have greatly oppressed¹ me from my youth²-- let Israel say³-- 2 they have greatly oppressed me from my youth, but they have not gained the victory⁴ over me. 3 Plowmen have plowed my back and made their furrows long. 4 But the LORD is righteous;⁵ he has cut me free⁶ from the cords of the wicked.⁷ 5 May all who hate Zion⁸ be turned back in shame.⁹ 6 May they be like grass on the roof,¹⁰ which withers¹¹ before it can grow; 7 with it the reaper cannot fill his hands,¹² nor the one who gathers fill his arms. 8 May those who pass by not say, "The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you¹³ in the name of the LORD."
