129:1  A song for going up to worship. “From the time I was young, people have attacked me . . .” (Israel should repeat this.)
129:2  “From the time I was young, people have attacked me, but they have never overpowered me.
129:3  They have plowed my back like farmers plow fields. They made long slashes like furrows.”
129:4  Yahweh is righteous. He has cut me loose from the ropes that wicked people tied around me.
129:5  Put to shame all those who hate Zion. Force them to retreat.
129:6  Make them be like grass on a roof, like grass that dries up before it produces a stalk.
129:7  It will never fill the barns of those who harvest or the arms of those who gather bundles.
129:8  Those who pass by will never say to them, “May you be blessed by Yahweh” or “We bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
