Psalms 129

1“Often since my youth they have attacked me,” 1 let Israel say. 1

2“Often since my youth they have attacked me, 1 yet they have not defeated me. 1

3The plowers plowed on my back; 1 they made their furrows long. 1

4Yahweh is righteous; 1 he has cut the ropes of the wicked.” 1

5May they all be put to shame and turned back, 1 those who hate Zion. 1

6May they be like the grass on the housetops 1 that withers before it grows up, 1

7that cannot fill the reaper's hand 1 or the chest of the one who binds bundles of grain together. 1

8May those who pass by not say, 1 “May the blessing of Yahweh be on you; 1 we bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
