Psalms 129

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 (128-1) <A gradual canticle.> Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.

2 (128-2) Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.

3 (128-3) The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.

4 (128-4) The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:

5 (128-5) Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.

6 (128-6) Let them be as grass upon the tops of houses: which withereth before it be plucked up:

7 (128-7) Who with the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.

8 (128-8) And they that passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed 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.”
