The Message
1 "They've kicked me around ever since I was young" —this is how Israel tells it—
2 but they never could keep me down.
3 up and down my back;
4 of the evil plowmen to shreds."
5 grovel in humiliation;
6 that withers before the harvest,
7 the harvesters get in the crop,
8 "Congratulations on your wonderful crop! We bless you in God's name!"
