Psalms 129
129
A song for going up to the Temple.
1All my life enemies have attacked me.
Say it again, Israel.
2All my life enemies have attacked me,
but they have never defeated me.
3They beat me until I had deep cuts.
My back looked like a freshly plowed field.
4But the Lord does what is right;
he cut the ropes and set me free from those wicked people.
5May those who hate Zion be put to shame.
May they be stopped and chased away.
6They will be like grass on a flat roof
that dies before it has time to grow.
7The one who goes to harvest it
will not find enough to cut and stack.
8May no one walking by those wicked people ever say,
“May the Lord bless 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.”
