PSALM 129



A Song of Ascents

Ps 129:1Many times have they afflicted me since my youth, / Let Israel say,

Ps 129:2Many times have they afflicted me since my youth, / Yet they did not prevail against me.

Ps 129:3The plowers plowed on my back; / They made their furrows long.

Ps 129:4Jehovah is righteous; / He has cut the cords of the wicked.

Ps 129:5May all who hate Zion / Be put to shame and turned back.

Ps 129:6May they be like grass on the housetops, / Which withers before it grows up,

Ps 129:7With which the reaper does not fill his hand, / Or he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

Ps 129:8Nor may those who pass by say, / The blessing of Jehovah be upon you! / We bless you in the name of Jehovah.
