King James Version
Masoretic-derived · highlighted where altered
1A Song of Degrees. Many a time have they warred against me from my youth, let Israel now say:
1Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.
2Many a time have they warred against me from my youth: and yet they prevailed not against me.
2For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
3The sinners wrought upon my back: they prolonged their iniquity.
3Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
4The righteous Lord has cut asunder the necks of sinners.
4Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.
5Let all that hate Sion be put to shame and turned back.
5The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6Let them be as the grass of the housetops, which withers before it is plucked up.
6Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.
