Bible

1 <> "Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth"--may Israel now say-- 2 "many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me. 3 The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows." 4 The LORD is righteous; He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. 5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. 6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth before it groweth up, 7 wherewith the mower filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves, his bosom. 8 Neither do those who go by say, "The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD."
