←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 prevailed against me.
129:3  Plowmen plowed over my back; they made their furrows long.
129:4  The Lord is righteous; he has cut the ropes of the wicked.
129:5  Let all who hate Zion be driven back in disgrace.
129:6  Let them be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it grows up
129:7  and can’t even fill the hands of the reaper or the arms of the one who binds sheaves.
129:8  Then none who pass by will say, “May the Lord’s blessing be on you. We bless you in the name of the Lord.”
