2 many to vex me from youth my also not be able to/for me

3 upon back/rim/brow my to plow/plot to plow/plot to prolong (to/for furrow their *Q(K)*)

4 LORD righteous to cut cord wicked

Kodwa uThixo ulungile; ungikhulule ezintanjeni zababi.

5 be ashamed and to turn back all to hate Zion

Akuthi bonke abayizondayo iZiyoni babuyiselwe emuva beyangekile.
