1 A song of ascents.Since my youth they have often attacked me—let Israel say—
1 A Song of Ascents.“(a)Many times they have (b)(A)persecuted me from my (B)youth up,”(C)Let Israel now say,
1 {A Song of degrees.} Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
1 "Since my youth they have often persecuted me," let Israel repeat it,
1 “Many times they have persecuted me (Israel) from my youth,”Let Israel now say,
2 “(c)Many times they have (d)persecuted me from my youth up;Yet they have (D)not prevailed against me.
2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
2 "Since my youth they have often persecuted me, yet they haven't defeated me.
2 “Many times they have persecuted me from my youth,Yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 “The plowers plowed upon my back;They lengthened their furrows.”
3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
3 Wicked people ploughed over my back, creating long-lasting wounds."
3 “The [enemies, like] plowers plowed on my back;They made their furrows [of suffering] long [in Israel].”
8 Then none who pass by will say,“May the Lord’s blessing be on you.”We bless you in the name of Yahweh.(G)
8 Nor do those who pass by say,“The (K)blessing of the Lord be upon you;We bless you in the name of the Lord.”
8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
8 And may those who pass by never tell them, "May the LORD's blessing be upon you. We bless you in the name of the LORD." A Song of Ascents
8 Nor do those who pass by say,“The blessing of the Lord be upon you;We bless you in the name of the Lord.”
