Psalms Chapter 129
Revised Standard Version
1 A Song of Ascents. 'Sorely have they afflicted me from my youth,' let Israel now say --
2 'Sorely have they afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.'
4 The LORD is righteous; he has cut the cords of the wicked.
5 May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward!
6 Let them be like the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,
7 with which the reaper does not fill his hand or the binder of sheaves his bosom,
8 while those who pass by do not say, 'The blessing of the LORD be upon you! We bless you in the name of the LORD!'
