Psalms - Chapter 129 | English Standard Version

  • 1. A Song of Ascents. "Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth"-- let Israel now say--
  • 2. "Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me.
  • 3. The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows."
  • 4. The LORD is righteous; he has cut the cords of the wicked.
  • 5. May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward!
  • 6. Let them be like the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,
  • 7. with which the reaper does not fill his hand nor the binder of sheaves his arms,
  • 8. nor do those who pass by say, "The blessing of the LORD be upon you! We bless you in the name of the LORD!"
