Psalms 129
129
Song of Victory over Zion’s Enemies
Song of Ascents.
1“Many a time they have #Ps. 125:5afflicted me from #(Jer. 1:19; 15:20); Matt. 16:18; 2 Cor. 4:8, 9my youth,”
#Ezek. 23:3; Hos. 2:15Let Israel now say—
2“Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth;
Yet they have not prevailed against me.
3The plowers plowed on my back;
They made their furrows long.”
4The Lord is righteous;
He has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked.
5Let all those who hate Zion
Be put to shame and turned back.
6Let them be as the #Ps. 124:1grass on the housetops,
Which withers before it grows up,
7With which the reaper does not fill his hand,
Nor he who binds sheaves, his arms.
8Neither let those who pass by them say,
#Ps. 37:2“The blessing of the Lord be upon you;
We bless you in the name of the Lord!”

Psalm 129
A song for going up to worship.
1“From the time I was young, people have attacked me …”
(Israel should repeat this.)
2“From the time I was young, people have attacked me,
but they have never overpowered me.
3They have plowed my back ⌞like farmers plow fields⌟.
They made long slashes ⌞like furrows⌟.”
4The Lord is righteous.
He has cut me loose
from the ropes that wicked people tied around me.
5Put to shame all those who hate Zion.
Force them to retreat.
6Make them be like grass on a roof,
like grass that dries up before it produces a stalk.
7It will never fill the barns of those who harvest
or the arms of those who gather bundles.
8Those who pass by will never say ⌞to them⌟,
“May you be blessed by the Lord”
or “We bless you in the name of the Lord.”
