Psalms 129
129
A Prayer against Israel's Enemies
1Israel, tell us how your enemies have persecuted you
ever since you were young.
2“Ever since I was young,
my enemies have persecuted me cruelly,
but they have not overcome me.
3They cut deep wounds in my back
and made it like a ploughed field.
4But the LORD, the righteous one,
has freed me from slavery.”
5May everyone who hates Zion
be defeated and driven back.
6May they all be like grass growing on the housetops,
which dries up before it can grow;
7no one gathers it up
or carries it away in bundles.
8No one who passes by will say,
“May the LORD bless you!
We bless you in the name of the LORD.”

PSALM 129.
1A gradual canticle.
Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord:
2Lord, hear my voice. Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
3If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it.
4For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on his word:
5my soul hath hoped in the Lord.
6From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.
7Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption.
8And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
