Psalm 129 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
1
A song for the ascent to Jerusalem. From my earliest youth my enemies have persecuted me -- let Israel now say --
2
from my earliest youth my enemies have persecuted me, but they have never been able to finish me off.
3
My back is covered with cuts, as if a farmer had plowed long furrows.
4
But the LORD is good; he has cut the cords used by the ungodly to bind me.
5
May all who hate Jerusalem a be turned back in shameful defeat.
6
May they be as useless as grass on a rooftop, turning yellow when only half grown,
7
ignored by the harvester, despised by the binder.
8
And may those who pass by refuse to give them this blessing: "The LORD's blessings be upon you; we bless you in the LORD's name."
