The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 129 of Psalms. Psalm 129 remembers the many afflictions Israel has suffered since its youth, using the agricultural image of those who plowed over the people’s back. Despite the depth of these wounds, the enemies did not prevail. The Lord is presented as righteous and capable of cutting the bonds of the wicked. The final desire that the enemies receive no blessing contrasts with the blessings pronounced upon God’s people.

Die Pflüger haben auf meinen Rücken geackert und ihre Furchen lang gezogen.
Sobre mis espaldas araron los aradores: Hicieron largos surcos.
Sobre mi espalda araron los aradores; hicieron largos sus surcos.
Des laboureurs ont labouré mon dos, Ils y ont tracé de longs sillons.
Degli aratori hanno arato sopra il mio dosso; V’hanno tirati i lor solchi.
Os lavradores araram sobre as minhas costas; compridos fizeram os seus sulcos.
扶犁的人在我背上扶犁而耕, 耕的犁溝很長。」
