←Prev   Psalms 129 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



129:1  A song of ascents. "Since my youth they have often attacked me," let Israel say.
129:2  "Since my youth they have often attacked me, but they have not defeated me.
129:3  The plowers plowed my back; they made their furrows long.
129:4  The LORD is just; he cut the ropes of the wicked."
129:5  May all who hate Zion be humiliated and turned back!
129:6  May they be like the grass on the rooftops which withers before one can even pull it up,
129:7  which cannot fill the reaper's hand, or the lap of the one who gathers the grain!
129:8  Those who pass by will not say, "May you experience the LORD's blessing! We pronounce a blessing on you in the name of the LORD."
