Psalms 129:1-7 ▼

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

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

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

4 Yahweh is righteous; He has cut up the cords of the wicked.

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

6 Let them be like grass upon the rooftops, Which dries up before it grows up;

7 With which the reaper does not fill his hand, Nor the binder of sheaves the fold of his garment;
