Psalms 129

Prayer for the overthrow of Zion’s enemies.

A Song of Ascents.

¹A Song of Ascents.

²"Sorely have they afflicted me from my youth," let Israel now say--

³"Sorely have they afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me.

⁴The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows."

⁵The LORD is righteous; he has cut the cords of the wicked.

⁶May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward!

⁷Let them be like the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,

⁸with which the reaper does not fill his hand or the binder of sheaves his bosom, [ (Psalms 129:9) while those who pass by do not say, "The blessing of the LORD be upon you! We bless you in the name of the LORD!" ]
