Psalms — Chapter 129
1
A song of ascents.Since my youth they have often assailed me,let Israel now declare,
2
since my youth they have often assailed me,but they have never overcome me.
3
Plowers plowed across my back;they made long furrows.
4
GOD, the righteous one,has snapped the cords of the wicked.
5
Let all who hate Zionfall back in disgrace.
6
Let them be like grass on roofsthat fades before it can be pulled up,
7
that affords no handful for the reaper,no armful for the gatherer of sheaves,
8
no exchange with passersby:“GOD’s blessing be upon you.”“We bless you by GOD’s name.”
