⁸ וראיתי והנה עליהם גדים ובשר עלה ויקרם עליהם עור מלמעלה ורוח אין בהם׃

²⁰ ואלהי השלום אשר בדם ברית עולם העלה מן המתים את רעה הצאן הגדול את ישוע אדנינו׃

¹ Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say,

² many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.

³ The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.

⁴ Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.

⁵ Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.

⁶ Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up;

⁷ with which the reaper doesn't fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

⁸ Neither do those who go by say, "The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in the name of Yahweh." A Song of Ascents.
