CPs 124:1Let Israel now say,
Yet they have AJer 1:19; 15:20; 20:11; Matt 16:18; 2 Cor 4:8, 9not prevailed against me.
3 “The plowers plowed upon my back;
They lengthened their furrows.”
4 The Loʀᴅ APs 119:137is righteous;
He has cut in two the BPs 140:5cords of the wicked.
5 May all who AMic 4:11hate Zion
Be BPs 70:3; 71:13put to shame and turned backward;
6 Let them be like A2 Kin 19:26; Ps 37:2; Is 37:27grass upon the housetops,
Which withers before it 1Lit draws outgrows up;
7 With which the reaper does not fill his 1Lit palmhand,
Or the binder of sheaves his APs 79:12bosom;
8 Nor do those who pass by say,
“The ARuth 2:4; Ps 118:26blessing of the Loʀᴅ be upon you;
We bless you in the name of the Loʀᴅ.”
