Psalms 129

Prayer for the overthrow of Zion’s enemies.

A Song of Ascents.

¹Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up, Let Israel now say,

²Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up: Yet they have not prevailed against me.

³The plowers plowed upon my back; They made long their furrows.

⁴Jehovah is righteous: He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

⁵Let them be put to shame and turned backward, All they that hate Zion.

⁶Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, Which withereth before it groweth up;

⁷Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, Nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

⁸Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of Jehovah be upon you; We bless you in the name of Jehovah.
