CHAPTER

Psalms 129

1. 1

   A Song of Ascents. Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say:

2. 2

   many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.

3. 3

   The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.

4. 4

   The LORD is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.

5. 5

   Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.

6. 6

   Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,

7. 7

   with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

8. 8

   Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of the LORD be on you. We bless you in the LORD’s name.”
