Greatly have they hurt me since my youth, Let Israel now say.
Greatly have they hurt me since my youth, Yet they have not prevailed.
The plowers have plowed upon my back, And made their furrows long.
But righteous, yes, righteous is the Lord, Who severs their hurtful cords.
Greatly have they hurt me since my youth, Let Israel now say.
Greatly have they hurt me since my youth, Yet they have not prevailed.
May all those who have disdain for Zion, Be turned around and ashamed.
May they be like grass upon the rooftops, Before it draws, it withers away,
Which the reaper takes not in his hand, Nor the binder into his embrace.
No passers-by say blessings from the Lord, Or may you be blessed in the Lord's name.
Greatly have they hurt me since my youth, Let Israel now say.
Greatly have they hurt me since my youth, Yet they have not prevailed.
Greatly have they hurt me since my youth, Let Israel now say.
Greatly have they hurt me since my youth, Yet they have not prevailed.
No, they have not prevailed.
