Psalms 129
|
Prayer for the Overthrow of Zion's Enemies.
A Song of Ascents.
1 "[a]Many times they have [b](a)persecuted me from my (b)youth up,"
(c)Let Israel now say,
2 "[c]Many times they have [d]persecuted me from my youth up;
Yet they have (d)not prevailed against me.
3 "The plowers plowed upon my back;
They lengthened their furrows."
4 The Lord (e)is righteous;
He has cut in two the (f)cords of the wicked.
5 May all who (g)hate Zion
Be (h)put to shame and turned backward;
6 Let them be like (i)grass upon the housetops,
Which withers before it [e]grows up;
7 With which the reaper does not fill his [f]hand,
Or the binder of sheaves his (j)bosom;
8 Nor do those who pass by say,
"The (k)blessing of the Lord be upon you;
We bless you in the name of the Lord."
