1Many a time they have persecuted me from my youth— let Israel now declare—
1Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord:
2many a time they have persecuted me from my youth, but they have not prevailed against me.
2Lord, hear my voice. Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
3The plowmen plowed over my back; they made their furrows long.
3If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it.
4The LORD is righteous; He has cut me from the cords of the wicked.
4For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on his word:
5May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame.
5My soul hath hoped in the Lord.
6May they be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can grow,
6From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.
7unable to fill the hands of the reaper, or the arms of the binder of sheaves.
7Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption.
8May none who pass by say to them, “The blessing of the LORD be on you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.”
8And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
