Psalms 129
129
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.

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.”
