Psalm Chapter 129 Back NextPsalm 129 A Song of Ascents.
{129:1} Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let
Israel now say,
{129:2} many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.
{129:3} The plowers plowed on my back. They made their
furrows long.
{129:4} Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
{129:5} Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.
{129:6} Let them be as the
grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up;
{129:7} with which the reaper doesn't fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his
bosom.
{129:8} Neither do those who go by say, "The
blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in the name of Yahweh."
