This “Psalm of Ascent” is another one about enemies who “have afflicted me from my youth; / Yet they have not prevailed against me.”
From there on, though, the psalmist uses agricultural images — withered grass, empty-handed reapers and inactive binders of sheaves.
My favorite metaphor is, “The plowers plowed on my back; / They made their furrows long.” But YHWH rescued him and cut those cords.
