Psalms 129

Prayer for the overthrow of Zion’s enemies.

A Song of Ascents.

¹Many times have they afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say,

²Many times have they afflicted me from my youth up, Yet they have not prevailed against me.

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

⁴Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.

⁵Let them be put to shame and turned backward, All those who hate Zion.

⁶Let them be as the grass on the housetops, Which withers before it grows up;

⁷With which the reaper doesn`t fill his hand, Nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

⁸Neither do those who go by say, "The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in the name of Yahweh."
