Psalms

A song of ascents.

The Cords of the Wicked

1Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say:+ 2many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.+ 3The ploughers ploughed on my back. They made their furrows long.+ 4The LORD is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.+ 5Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.+ 6Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,+ 7with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.+ 8Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of the LORD be on you. We bless you in the LORD’s name.”+
