1 “They have oppressed me greatly from my youth” Make this your song, O Israel, and repeat it: 2 “They have oppressed me greatly from my youth, but they have failed, for I am undefeated. 3 “They plowed my back as if they plowed a field; long furrows drew those enemies who hound me.” 4 The LORD is righteous; he, my strength and shield, has cut the cords with which the wicked bound me. 5 May all those who hate Zion be brought low. Put them to shame, LORD. Crush them by your power. 6 Make them like grasses that on housetops grow, that shrivel in the sun before they flower. 7 No reaper gathers those to have them threshed; no binder such a worthless crop will rescue. 8 No passers-by will shout, “May you be blessed!” They will not say, “We in the Lord’s name bless you!” – Book of Praise: Anglo-Genevan Psalter
