3Plowmen plowed over my back; they made their furrows long.3"The plowers plowed upon my back; They lengthened their furrows."
4The LORD is righteous; he has cut the ropes of the wicked.4The LORD is righteous; He has cut in two the cords of the wicked.
5Let all who hate Zion be driven back in disgrace.5May all who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned backward;
6Let them be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it grows up6Let them be like grass upon the housetops, Which withers before it grows up;
7and can't even fill the hands of the reaper or the arms of the one who binds sheaves.7With which the reaper does not fill his hand, Or the binder of sheaves his bosom;
8Then none who pass by will say, "May the LORD's blessing be on you. We bless you in the name of the LORD."8Nor do those who pass by say, "The blessing of the LORD be upon you; We bless you in the name of the LORD."
