129:1 A Song of Ascents. “Often they have afflicted me from my youth,” may Israel now say,
129:2 “often they have afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me.
129:3 The plowmen plowed upon my back; they made their furrows long.”
129:4 The Lord is righteous; He has cut the cords of the wicked.
129:5 Let all those be shamed and turned back who hate Zion.
129:6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it even grows,
129:7 where the reaper is unable to fill his hand, or he who binds sheaves, his arms.
129:8 Neither do they who pass by say, “The blessing of the Lord be upon you; we bless you in the name of the Lord!”
