Psalms - Chapter 129 | New International Version

  • 1. {A song of ascents.} 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. with it the reaper cannot fill his hands, nor the one who gathers fill his arms.
  • 8. May those who pass by not say, "The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD."
