Psalms 129
129
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.”

Psalms 129
129
Psalm 129
A pilgrimage song.
1From youth, people have constantly attacked me—
let Israel now repeat!—
2from youth people have constantly attacked me—
but they haven’t beaten me!
3They plowed my back like farmers;
they made their furrows deep.
4But the LORD is righteous—
God cut me free from the ropes of the wicked!
5Let everyone who hates Zion be ashamed, thoroughly frustrated.
6Let them be like grass on a roof
that dies before it can be pulled up,
7which won’t fill the reaper’s hand
or fill the harvester’s arms.
8Let no one who passes by say to them:
“May the LORD’s blessing be on you!
We bless you in the LORD’s name!”
