Psalm 129

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

1 Israel, tell us how your enemies have persecuted you ever since you were young.

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

2 "Ever since I was young, my enemies have persecuted me cruelly, but they have not overcome me.

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

3 They cut deep wounds in my back and made it like a plowed field.

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

4 But the Lord, the righteous one, has freed me from slavery."

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

5 May everyone who hates Zion be defeated and driven back.

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

6 May they all be like grass growing on the housetops, which dries up before it can grow;

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

7 no one gathers it up or carries it away in bundles.

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.”

8 No one who passes by will say, "May the Lord bless you! We bless you in the name of the Lord."
