1 “ Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth,” Let Israel now say—

Muchas veces me han perseguido desde mi juventud, —diga ahora Israel —

2 “ Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth; Yet they have not prevailed against me.

muchas veces me han perseguido desde mi juventud, pero no han prevalecido contra mí.

3 T he plowers plowed on my back; They made their furrows long.”

Sobre mis espaldas araron los aradores; alargaron sus surcos.

4 T he Lord is righteous; He has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked.

El Señor es justo; ha cortado las coyundas de los impíos.

5 L et all those who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned back.

Sean avergonzados y vueltos atrás todos los que odian a Sion.

6 L et them be as the grass on the housetops, Which withers before it grows up,

Sean como hierba en los techos, que se seca antes de crecer.

7 W ith which the reaper does not fill his hand, Nor he who binds sheaves, his arms.

Con la cual el segador no llena su mano, ni el recogedor de gavillas sus brazos.

8 N either let those who pass by them say, “The blessing of the Lord be upon you; We bless you in the name of the Lord!”

Y no les digan los que pasan: La bendición del Señor sea sobre vosotros; os bendecimos en el nombre del Señor.
