Psalms Chapter 129 (ESV)
1
A SONG OF ASCENTS. "Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth"- let Israel now say-
2
"Greatly 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 nor the binder of sheaves his arms,
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!"
