Verse BSB Berean Standard Bible YLT Young's Literal Translation
A song of ascents. Many a time they have persecuted me from my youth let Israel now declare—
A Song of the Ascents. Often they distressed me from my youth , Pray, let Israel say:
many a time they have persecuted me from my youth, but they have not prevailed against me.
Often they distressed me from my youth, Yet they have not prevailed over me.
The plowmen plowed over my back ; they made their furrows long .
Over my back have ploughers ploughed, They have 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 cords of the wicked.
May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame .
Confounded and turn backward do all hating Zion.
May they be like grass on the rooftops , which withers before it can grow ,
They are as grass of the roofs , That before it was drawn out withereth ,
unable to fill the hands of the reaper, or the arms of the binder of sheaves.
That hath not filled the hand of a reaper, And the bosom of a binder of sheaves.
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.”
And the passers by have not said , ` The blessing of Jehovah `is' on you , We blessed you in the Name of Jehovah!'
