A * song of ascents.
1 Since my youth they have often attacked me—
let Israel say—
2 Since my youth they have often attacked me,
but they have not prevailed against me. f
3 Plowmen plowed over my back;
they made their furrows long. g
He has cut the ropes of the wicked. h
5 Let all who hate * Zion
be driven back in disgrace. i
6 Let them be like grass on the rooftops,
which withers before it grows up j k
7 and can’t even fill the hands of the reaper
or the arms of the one who binds sheaves. l
8 Then none who pass by will say,
“May the Lord’s blessing be on you.”

About The Holman Christian Standard BibleThe complete Holman Christian Standard Bible® is now available for the first time ever! More than fifteen years in the making, crafted by the shared expertise of nearly a hundred conservative scholars and English stylists, the Holman CSB® sets the standard in painstaking biblical accuracy and pure literary form. Accurate, yet highly readable, it's a translation committed to leaving both the grace and gravity of the original languages intact while carefully creating a smooth flow of wording for the reader. Stylistically, this inaugural edition contributes to the clarity of the written Word, arranging the poetic portions of the Scripture into complete lines of thought, and revering God's presence on each page by capitalizing all the pronouns that refer to Him. |
