1 A Song of the steps. Many a time have they warred against me from my youth, let Israel now say;
2 Many a time they warred against me from my youth; they did not however prevail over me.
3 Upon my back the wicked hammered, they prolonged their iniquity:
4 the righteous Lord hath broken the necks of the wicked.
5 Let all who hate Sion be confounded and turned back.
6 Let them be like a blade on the house tops, which withereth before it is pulled up,
7 with which the reaper hath not filled his hand, nor he who gathereth the sheaves, his bosom;
8 so that they who passed by did not say, "The blessing of the Lord is upon you." We have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
