Psalms Chapter 129

New American Standard Bible

1 A Song of Ascents. 'Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up,' Let Israel now say,

2 'Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up; Yet they have not prevailed against me.

3 'The plowers plowed upon my back; They lengthened their furrows.'

4 The LORD is righteous; He has cut in two the cords of the wicked.

5 May all who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned backward;

6 Let them be like grass upon 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 Nor do those who pass by say, 'The blessing of the LORD be upon you; We bless you in the name of the LORD.'
