1“A song of the degrees.” Many a time have they assailed me from my youth, so should Israel say;
2Many a time have they assailed me from my youth: yet have they not prevailed against me.
3Upon my back have ploughmen ploughed; they have drawn long their furrows:
4Yet the Lord is righteous; he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
5May all be put to shame and turned backward that hate Zion;
