Psalm 129
129
They Have Afflicted Me from My Youth
A Song of #[See Ps. 120, title]Ascents.
1“Greatly#129:1 Or Often; also verse 2 have they #[Ex. 1:14; Judg. 3:8, 14; 4:3; 6:2; 10:8] afflicted me #Isa. 47:12; Jer. 2:2; 22:21; Hos. 2:15 from my youth”—
#
Ps. 124:1
let Israel now say—
2“Greatly have they #[See ver. 1 above] afflicted me #[See ver. 1 above] from my youth,
# [2 Cor. 4:8-10] yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 #
Mic. 3:12 The plowers plowed #[Isa. 50:6; 51:23]upon my back;
they made long their furrows.”
4The Lord is righteous;
he has cut #Ps. 2:3the cords of the wicked.
5May all who hate Zion
be #See Ps. 35:4put to shame and turned backward!
6Let them be like #2 Kgs. 19:26; Isa. 37:27 the grass on the housetops,
which #Ps. 37:2; Job 8:12withers before it grows up,
7with which the reaper does not fill his hand
nor the binder of sheaves his arms,
8nor do those who pass by say,
#
Ruth 2:4 “The blessing of the Lord be upon you!
We #Ps. 118:26bless you in the name of the Lord!”

1A song of ascents:
Since I was young they have often attacked me —
let Isra’el repeat it —
2since I was young they have often attacked me,
but they haven’t overcome me.
3The plowmen plowed on my back;
wounding me with long furrows.
4But Adonai is righteous;
he cuts me free from the yoke of the wicked.
5Let all who hate Tziyon
be thrown back in confusion.
6Let them be like grass on the roof,
which dries out before it grows up
7and never fills the reaper’s hands
or the arms of the one who binds sheaves,
8so that no passer-by says,
“Adonai’s blessing on you!
We bless you in the name of Adonai!”
