Psalms 129

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

1 A Song of Ascents. "Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth," Let Israel now say--

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

2 "Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth; Yet they have not prevailed against me.

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

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

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

4 The Lord is righteous; He has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked.

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

5 Let all those who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned back.

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

6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops, Which withers before it grows up,

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

7 With which the reaper does not fill his hand, Nor he who binds sheaves, 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.”

8 Neither let those who pass by them say, "The blessing of the Lord be upon you; We bless you in the name of the Lord!"
