1. 以色列当说，从我幼年以来，敌人屡次苦害我， Many times have they afflicted me since my youth, Oh, let Israel say,
2. 从我幼年以来，敌人屡次苦害我，却没有胜过我。 Many times have they afflicted me since my youth, Yet they did not prevail against me.
3. 他们好像扶犁的，在我背上扶犁而耕；耕的犁沟甚长。 The plowers plowed on my back; They made their furrows long.
4. 耶和华是公义的；祂砍断了恶人的绳索。 Jehovah is righteous; He has cut the cords of the wicked.
5. 愿恨恶锡安的，都蒙羞退后。 May all who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned back.
6. 愿他们像房顶上的草，未长成而枯萎； May they be like grass on the housetops, Which withers before it grows up,
7. 收割的不够一把，捆禾的也不够满怀。 With which the reaper does not fill his hand, Or he who binds sheaves, his bosom.
8. 过路的也不说，愿耶和华所赐的福，归于你们；我们在耶和华的名里，给你们祝福。 Nor may those who pass by say, The blessing of Jehovah be upon you! We bless you in the name of Jehovah.
