A Song of Ascents.

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up,

Let Israel now say,

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up:

Yet they have not prevailed against me.2Co 4:8

The plowers plowed upon my back;

They made long their furrows.Job 4:8; Isa 51:23

Jehovah is righteous:

He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.Isa 5:8

Let them be put to shame and turned backward,

All they that hate Zion.Psa 6:10

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops,

Which withereth before it groweth up;Psa 37:2; Psa 58:9

Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand,

Nor he that bindeth sheaves, his bosom:

Neither do they that go by say,

The blessing of Jehovah be upon you;

We bless you in the name of Jehovah.
