2
Great have been my troubles from the time when I was young, but my troubles have not overcome me.
3
The ploughmen were ploughing on my back; long were the wounds they made.
4

5

6

7

8
And those who go by do not say, The blessing of the Lord be on you; we give you blessing in the name of the Lord.
