Psalms 129
PSALM 129 Prayer for the Overthrow of Zion’s Enemies. A Song of Ascents.
1“Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up,”Let Israel now say,
2“Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up;Yet they have not prevailed against me.
3The plowers plowed upon my back;They lengthened their furrows.”
4The Lord is righteous;He has cut in two the cords of the wicked.
5May all who hate ZionBe put to shame and turned backward;
6Let them be like grass upon the housetops,Which withers before it grows up;
7With which the reaper does not fill his hand,Or the binder of sheaves his bosom;
8Nor do those who pass by say,“The blessing of the Lord be upon you;We bless you in the name of the Lord.”
