The plowers plowed upon my back; They made long their furrows.

Jehovah is righteous: He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, Which withereth before it groweth up;

Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of Jehovah be upon you; We bless you in the name of Jehovah.
