Psalms 129

New Revised Standard NRS

1 "Often have they attacked me from my youth" —let Israel now say—

2 "often have they attacked me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me.

3 The plowers plowed on my back; they made their furrows long."

4 The Lord is righteous; he has cut the cords of the wicked.

5 May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward.

6 Let them be like the grass on the housetops that withers before it grows up,

7 with which reapers do not fill their hands or binders of sheaves their arms,

8 while those who pass by do not say, "The blessing of the Lord be upon you! We bless you in the name of the Lord!"

New International Version NIV

1 “They have greatly oppressed me from my youth,” let Israel say;

2 “they have greatly oppressed me from my youth, but they have not gained the victory over me.

3 Plowmen have plowed my back and made their furrows long.

4 But the LORD is righteous; he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.”

5 May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame.

6 May they be like grass on the roof, which withers before it can grow;

7 a reaper cannot fill his hands with it, nor one who gathers fill his arms.

8 May those who pass by not say to them, “The blessing of the LORD be on you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.”
