1. “Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth,”Let Israel now say—
2. “Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth;Yet they have not prevailed against me.
3. The plowers plowed on my back;They made their furrows long.”
4. The Lord is righteous;He has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked.
5. Let all those who hate ZionBe put to shame and turned back.
