1ωδη των αναβαθμων πλεονακιϲ επολεμηϲαν με εκ νεοτητοϲ μου ειπατω δη ϊϲλ 2πλεονακιϲ επολεμηϲαν με εκ νεοτητοϲ μου και γαρ ουκ ηδυνηθηϲαν μοι3επι του νωτου μου ετεκτενον οι αμαρτωλοι εμακρυναν την ανομιαν αυτων 4κϲ δικαιοϲ ϲυνεκοψεν αυχενα αμαρτωλων 5αιϲχυνθητωϲαν και αποϲτραφητωϲα ειϲ τα οπιϲω παντεϲ οι μειϲουντεϲ ϲιων
1Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: 2Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me. 3The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows. 4The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. 5Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
6γενηθητωϲαν ωϲ χορτοϲ δωματων οϲ προ του εκϲπαϲθηναι εξηρανθη 7ου ουκ επληρωϲεν την χειρα αυτου ο θεριζων και τον κολπον αυτου ο τα δραγματα ϲυλλεγων 8και ουκ ειπαν οι παραγοντεϲ ευλογια κυ εφ ημαϲ ευλογηϲομεν ϋμαϲ εν ονοματι κυ
6Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up: 7Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom. 8Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
