Psalms 129
1 They have greatly oppressed me from my youth— 1 let Israel say—
2 they have greatly oppressed me from my youth, 2 but they have not gained the victory over me.
3 Plowmen have plowed my back 3 and made their furrows long.
4 But the Lord is righteous; 4 he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.
5 May all who hate Zion 5 be turned back in shame.
6 May they be like grass on the roof, 6 which withers before it can grow;
7 with it the reaper cannot fill his hands, 7 nor the one who gathers fill his arms.
8 May those who pass by not say, 8 "The blessing of the Lord be upon you; 8 we bless you in the name of the Lord."
