Verse BSB Berean Standard Bible KJV King James 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 , may 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 : 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.
The LORD is righteous : he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame .
Let them all be confounded and turned back 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 afore it groweth up:
unable to fill the hands of the reaper, or the arms of the binder of sheaves.
Wherewith the mower 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 which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you : we bless you in the name of the LORD.
