Psalm 129

Protection of the Oppressed

A song of ascents.

1 Since my youth they have often attacked me—
let Israel say—
2 Since my youth they have often attacked me,
but they have not prevailed against me.(a)
3 Plowmen plowed over my back;
they made their furrows long.(b)
4 The Lord is righteous;
He has cut the ropes of the wicked.(c)

5 Let all who hate Zion
be driven back in disgrace.(d)
6 Let them be like grass on the rooftops,
which withers before it grows up[a](e)
7 and can't even fill the hands of the reaper
or the arms of the one who binds sheaves.(f)
8 Then none who pass by will say,
"May the Lord's blessing be on you."

We bless you in the name of Yahweh.(g)
