1. How they have oppressed me from my youth - let Israel say,

2. how they have oppressed me from my youth - they have not put me down.

3. Upon my back plowers have plowed long and deep furrows

4. But the Lord, who is just, has shattered the yoke of the wicked.

5. May all who hate Zion be thrown into confusion.

6. May they be like grass in the garden, which withers before you uproot it.

7. No reaper sets his hands on it, no one gathers it to fill his arms,

8. nor says of them the passersby, "The blessing of the Lord be upon you!" We bless you in the name of the Lord!





“Para que se preocupar com o caminho pelo qual Jesus quer que você chegue à pátria celeste – pelo deserto ou pelo campo – quando tanto por um como por outro se chegará da mesma forma à beatitude eterna?” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
