PSALM 129

 

A song of ascents.

1 

‘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 

Ploughmen have ploughed 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 

a reaper cannot fill his hands with it,
    nor one who gathers fill his arms.

8 

May those who pass by not say to them,
    ‘The blessing of the Lord be on you;
    we bless you in the name of the Lord.’
