Verse KJV King James Version YLT Young's Literal Translation
Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
A Song of the Ascents. Often they distressed me from my youth, Pray, let Israel say:
Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth : yet they have not prevailed against me.
Often they distressed me from my youth , Yet they have not prevailed over me.
The plowers plowed upon my back : they made long their furrows.
Over my back have ploughers ploughed, They have made long their furrows.
The LORD is righteous : he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
Jehovah ` is ' righteous , He hath cut asunder cords of the wicked.
Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
Confounded and turn backward do all hating Zion.
Let them be as the grass upon the housetops , which withereth afore it groweth up:
They are as grass of the roofs , That before it was drawn out withereth,
Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand ; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
That hath not filled the hand of a reaper, And the bosom of a binder of sheaves .
Neither do they which go by say , The blessing of the LORD be upon 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!'
