Psalms 129

Also in: CNV · ESV · NIV11 · NKJV · RCUV · CCBT

1“Many times they have attacked me from my youth up,” Let Israel say, 2“Many times they have attacked me from my youth up; Yet they have not prevailed against me. 3“The plowers plowed upon my back; They lengthened their furrows.” 4The Lord is righteous; He has cut up the ropes of the wicked. 5¶May all who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned backward; 6May they be like grass upon the housetops, Which withers before it grows up; 7With which the harvester does not fill his hand, Or the binder of sheaves his arms; 8Nor do those who pass by say, “The blessing of the Lord be upon you; We bless you in the name of the Lord.”
