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