From Youth They Have Afflicted Me
- “From youth they have afflicted me,”
let Isr’el say of her travail.
“From youth they have afflicted me,
yet over me have not prevailed.” - They drew their ploughs across my back;
the ploughmen made their furrows long.
The LORD is righteous, he has cut
me free from cords of wicked ones. - May all who hate Jerusalem
be put to shame and turned away.
May they, like grass upon the roof,
not grow, but wither and decay. - Let not the reaper gather sheaves,
nor let the passersby proclaim:
“We wish you blessing from the LORD!
We bless you in his holy name!”
