New King James Version | King James Bible |
1A Song of Ascents. “Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth,” Let Israel now say— | 1A Song of degrees. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: |
2“Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth; Yet they have not prevailed against me. | 2Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me. |
3The plowers plowed on my back; They made their furrows long.” | 3The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows. |
4The LORD is righteous; He has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked. | 4The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. |
5Let all those who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned back. | 5Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. |
6Let them be as the grass on the housetops, Which withers before it grows up, | 6Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up: |
7With which the reaper does not fill his hand, Nor he who binds sheaves, his arms. | 7Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom. |
8Neither let those who pass by them say, “The blessing of the LORD be upon you; We bless you in the name of the LORD!” | 8Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD. |
