←Prev   Psalms 129 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


129:1  A song of ascents. “Too often they have attacked me from my youth.” Let Israel say,
129:2  “Too often they have attacked me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me.
129:3  On my back plowmen have plowed. They have made their furrows long.”
129:4  Yahweh is righteous. He has cut the ropes of the wicked.
129:5  Let all be put to shame and repulsed who hate Zion.
129:6  Let them be like grass on the housetops, that withers before it grows up,
129:7  with which a reaper cannot fill his hand, nor the binder of sheaves his arms,
129:8  so that passersby do not say, “The blessing of Yahweh be upon you. We bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
