129:1 "Since my youth they have often persecuted me," let Israel repeat it,
129:2 "Since my youth they have often persecuted me, yet they haven't defeated me.
129:3 Wicked people ploughed over my back, creating long-lasting wounds."
129:4 The LORD is righteous— he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.
129:5 Let all who hate Zion be turned away and be ashamed.
129:6 May they become like a tuft of grass on a roof top, that withers before it takes root—
129:7 not enough to fill one's hand or to bundle in one's arms.
129:8 And may those who pass by never tell them, "May the LORD's blessing be upon you. We bless you in the name of the LORD."
