Oft did they vex me from my youth,Line 2
yet not victorious were.
The plowers plow'd upon my back,Line 3
they long their furrows drew.
The righteous Lord did cut the cordsLine 4
of the ungodly crue.
Let Zions haters all be turn'dLine 5
back with confusion.
As grasse on houses tops be they,Line 6
which fades ere it be grown:
Whereof enough to fill his handLine 7
the mower can not finde:
Nor can the man his bosome fill,
whose work is, sheaves to binde.
Neither say they who do go by,Line 8
Gods blessing on you rest;
We, in the Name of God, the Lord,
do wish you to be blest.
