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