←Prev   Psalms 129 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



129:1  Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say,
129:2  many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.
129:3  The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.
129:4  Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
129:5  Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.
129:6  Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up;
129:7  with which the reaper doesn't fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.
129:8  Neither do those who go by say, "The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in the name of Yahweh." A Song of Ascents.
