• Yahweh Has Cut the Cords of the Wicked

  • 1 “Many times they have assailed me from my youth up,” Let Israel now say,
  • 2 “Many times they have assailed me from my youth up; Yet they have not prevailed against me.
  • 3 “The plowers plowed upon my back; They lengthened their furrows.”
  • 4 Yahweh is righteous; He has cut up the cords of the wicked.
  • 5 Let all who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned backward;
  • 6 Let them be like grass upon the rooftops, Which dries up before it grows up;
  • 7 With which the reaper does not fill his hand, Nor the binder of sheaves the fold of his garment;
  • 8 And those who pass by will not say, “The blessing of Yahweh be upon you; We bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
