Psalms 129

World English Bible WEB

1 <<A Song of Ascents.>> Many times have they afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say,

2 Many times have they afflicted me from my youth up, Yet they have not prevailed against me.

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

4 Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.

5 Let them be put to shame and turned backward, All those who hate Zion.

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

7 With which the reaper doesn't fill his hand, Nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

8 Neither do those who go by say, "The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in the name of Yahweh."

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.”
