Psalm 129 A Song of Ascents.
- “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth”— let Israel now say—
- “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me.
- The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.”
- The LORD is righteous; he has cut the cords of the wicked.
- May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward!
- Let them be like the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,
- with which the reaper does not fill his hand nor the binder of sheaves his arms,
- nor do those who pass by say, “The blessing of the LORD be upon you! We bless you in the name of the LORD!”
(ESV)
