Psalm 129
A Song of Ascents.
[129:1] Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say, [129:2] many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me. [129:3] The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long. [129:4] Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked. [129:5] Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion. [129:6] Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up; [129:7] with which the reaper doesn't fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom. [129:8] Neither do those who go by say, "The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in the name of Yahweh."
