1 They have treated me badly all my life.(Let Israel repeat this.)
2 They have treated me badly all my life,but they have not defeated me.
3 Like farmers plowing, they plowed over my back,making long wounds.
4 But the Lord does what is right;he has set me free from those wicked people.
5 Let those who hate Jerusalembe turned back in shame.
6 Let them be like the grass on the roofthat dries up before it has grown.
7 There is not enough of it to fill a handor to make into a bundle to fill one’s arms.
8 Let those who pass by them not say,“May the Lord bless you.We bless you by the power of the Lord.”
