1 A song of ascents. |Since my youth they have often attacked me,| let Israel say. 2 |Since my youth they have often attacked me, but they have not defeated me. 3 The plowers plowed my back; they made their furrows long. 4 The LORD is just; he cut the ropes of the wicked.| 5 May all who hate Zion be humiliated and turned back! 6 May they be like the grass on the rooftops which withers before one can even pull it up, 7 which cannot fill the reaper's hand, or the lap of the one who gathers the grain! Psalms 129:1-7, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
