Psalms 129 [Commentary] [Map]
|
1. |
A Song of Ascents. "Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up," Let Israel now say,
|
2. |
"Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up; Yet they have not prevailed against me.
|
3. |
"The plowers plowed upon my back; They lengthened their furrows."
|
4. |
The LORD is righteous; He has cut in two the cords of the wicked.
|
5. |
May all who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned backward;
|
6. |
Let them be like grass upon the housetops, Which withers before it grows up;
|
7. |
With which the reaper does not fill his hand, Or the binder of sheaves his bosom;
|
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."
