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 愿以色列说： "从我幼年以来， 敌人就多次苦害我。（本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题）

2 从我幼年以来， 敌人虽然多次苦害我， 却没有胜过我。

3 他们好像犁田的人犁在我的背上， 所犁的沟甚长。

4 但耶和华是公义的， 他砍断了恶人的绳索。"

5 愿所有恨恶锡安的， 都蒙羞退后。

6 愿他们像屋顶上的草， 尚未长大， 就枯干了；

7 收割的不够一把， 捆禾的不够满怀。

8 过路的人也不说： "愿耶和华所赐的福临到你们； 我们奉耶和华的名祝福你们。"
