Psalms   English: New American Standard Bible   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."   NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE Copyright (C) 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by: THE LOCKMAN FOUNDATION LA HABRA, CA 90631 A Corporation Not for Profit All Rights Reserved
