Psalms

A song of ascents.

The Cords of the Wicked

1A Song of the Ascents. Often they distressed me from my youth, Pray, let Israel say:+ 2Often they distressed me from my youth, Yet they have not prevailed over me.+ 3Over my back have ploughers ploughed, They have made long their furrows.+ 4Jehovah is righteous, He hath cut asunder cords of the wicked.+ 5Confounded and turn backward do all hating Zion.+ 6They are as grass of the roofs, That before it was drawn out withereth,+ 7That hath not filled the hand of a reaper, And the bosom of a binder of sheaves.+ 8And the passers by have not said, `The blessing of Jehovah is on you, We blessed you in the Name of Jehovah!'+
