Psalm 129

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 A song of ascents: Since I was young they have often attacked me -let Isra'el repeat it

2 since I was young they have often attacked me, but they haven't overcome me.

3 The plowmen plowed on my back; wounding me with long furrows.

4 But ADONAI is righteous; he cuts me free from the yoke of the wicked.

5 Let all who hate Tziyon be thrown back in confusion.

6 Let them be like grass on the roof, which dries out before it grows up

7 and never fills the reaper's hands or the arms of the one who binds sheaves,

8 so that no passer-by says, "ADONAI's blessing on you! We bless you in the name of ADONAI!"

The Message Bible MSG

1 "They've kicked me around ever since I was young" - this is how Israel tells it -

2 "They've kicked me around ever since I was young, but they never could keep me down.

3 Their plowmen plowed long furrows up and down my back;

4 Then God ripped the harnesses of the evil plowmen to shreds."

5 Oh, let all those who hate Zion grovel in humiliation;

6 Let them be like grass in shallow ground that withers before the harvest,

7 Before the farmhands can gather it in, the harvesters get in the crop,

8 Before the neighbors have a chance to call out, "Congratulations on your wonderful crop! We bless you in God's name!"
