1 Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up.

Let Israel now say:

2 many times they have afflicted me from my youth up,

yet they have not prevailed against me.

3 The plowers plowed on my back.

They made their furrows long.

4 Yahweh is righteous.

He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.

5 Let them be disappointed and turned backward,

all those who hate Zion.

6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops,

which withers before it grows up,

7 with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand,

nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

8 Neither do those who go by say,

"The blessing of Yahweh be on you.

We bless you in Yahweh’s name."

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。"
