| 1 | A song of high degrees. Israel may now say: they haue troubled me often from my youth vp. | “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth”— let Israel now say— | A song of ascents. “They have greatly oppressed me from my youth,” let Israel say; | |
| 2 | They haue troubled me often from my youth vp: but they haue not preuayled against me. | “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me. | “they have greatly oppressed me from my youth, but they have not gained the victory over me. | |
| 3 | The plowemen plowed vpon my backe: they made long forrowes. | The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.” | Plowmen have plowed my back and made their furrows long. | |
| 4 | But God who is iust: hath cut a peeces the snares of the vngodly. | The LORD is righteous; he has cut the cords of the wicked. | But the LORD is righteous; he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.” | |
| 5 | All they that beare an euyll wyll to Sion: shalbe confounded, and be made to turne backe from it. | May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward! | May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame. | |
| 6 | They shall be as the grasse growing vpon the house toppes: whiche withereth afore that it be shot foorth to his growth. | Let them be like the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up, | May they be like grass on the roof, which withers before it can grow; | |
| 7 | Whereof the mower fylleth not his hande: neither he that byndeth vp the sheaues his armes full. | with which the reaper does not fill his hand nor the binder of sheaves his arms, | a reaper cannot fill his hands with it, nor one who gathers fill his arms. | |
| 8 | And they which go by, say not so much as the blessing of God be vpon you: we blesse you in the name of God. | nor do those who pass by say, “The blessing of the LORD be upon you! We bless you in the name of the LORD!” | May those who pass by not say to them, “The blessing of the LORD be on you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.” | |
