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 The LORD 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 the LORD" or "We bless you in the name of the LORD."
