Pilgrim Feast Songs. 10:15
Context: Possibly, reflection on Lev 26:13 applied in the times of the Judges. (No reference)
Context: Psalm of Ascent 10:15. Historically, sung by travelers ascending up to Jerusalem [City of peace] during the three pilgrim feasts of Ex 23:15-17: Passover, Shavout / Pentacost, and Tabernacles. Sung by the Levites [Descendants of United with] at the Feast of Tabernacles during the water drawing ceremony.
1 Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up.
Let Israel [God prevails] now say,
2 many times they have afflicted me from my youth up,
yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 The plowers plowed on my back.
They made their furrows long.
4 Adonai is righteous.
He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
5 Let them be disappointed and turned backward,
all those who hate Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking].
6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops,
which withers before it grows up;
7 with which the reaper does not fill his hand,
nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.
8 Neither do those who go by say,
“The blessing of Adonai be on you.
We bless you in Adonai ’s name.”
