129:1  Israel, tell us how your enemies have persecuted you ever since you were young.
129:2  “Ever since I was young, my enemies have persecuted me cruelly, but they have not overcome me.
129:3  They cut deep wounds in my back and made it like a plowed field.
129:4  But the Lord, the righteous one, has freed me from slavery.”
129:5  May everyone who hates Zion be defeated and driven back.
129:6  May they all be like grass growing on the housetops, which dries up before it can grow;
129:7  no one gathers it up or carries it away in bundles.
129:8  No one who passes by will say, “May the Lord bless you! We bless you in the name of the Lord.”
