Verse BSB Berean Standard Bible ASV American Standard Version
A song of ascents. Many a time they have persecuted me from my youth let Israel now declare—
Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up, Let Israel now say,
many a time they have persecuted me from my youth , but they have not prevailed against me.
Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up: Yet they have not prevailed against me.
The plowmen plowed over my back; they made their furrows long .
The plowers plowed upon my back; They made long their furrows.
The LORD is righteous ; He has cut me from the cords of the wicked.
Jehovah is righteous : He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame .
Let them be put to shame and turned backward, All they that hate Zion.
May they be like grass on the rooftops , which withers before it can grow,
Let them be as the grass upon the housetops , Which withereth before it groweth up;
unable to fill the hands of the reaper, or the arms of the binder of sheaves.
Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand , Nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom .
May none who pass by say to them , The blessing of the LORD be on you; we bless you in the name of the LORD .
Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of Jehovah be upon you; We bless you in the name of Jehovah . Psalm 130 A Song of Ascents.
