Psalms 129
129
A Prayer Against the Enemies
A song for going up to worship.
1They have treated me badly all my life.
(Let Israel repeat this.)
2They have treated me badly all my life.
But they have not defeated me.
3Like farmers plowing, they plowed over my back,
making long wounds.
4But the Lord does what is right.
He has set me free from those wicked people.
5Let those who hate Jerusalem
be turned back in shame.
6Let them be like the grass on the roof.
It dries up before it has grown.
7There is not enough of it to fill a man’s hand
or to make into a bundle to fill his arms.
8Let those who pass by them not say,
“May the Lord bless you.
We bless you by the power of the Lord.”

Psalms 129
129
Haters Won’t Prevail
1A Song of Ascents. “How many times they have been hostile to me, even from my youth” —let Israel now say—
2“How greatly they have been hostile to me, even from my youth. Yet they have not prevailed against me.
3Plowmen plowed on my back— they made their furrows long!”
4Adonai is righteous— He has cut the ropes of the wicked.
5May all who hate Zion be driven back in disgrace.
6Let them be like grass on the roofs, which withers before it springs up—
7with it a reaper cannot fill his hand, nor can a binder of sheaves fill his lap.
8So the passersby may never say: “The blessing of Adonai be upon you— we bless you in the Name of Adonai.”
