Psalm 129
A song of ascents.
“They have greatly oppressed me from my youth,”
let Israel say;
A song of ascents.
“They have greatly oppressed me from my youth,”
let Israel say;
A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.
From my earliest youth my enemies have persecuted me.
Let all Israel repeat this:
From my earliest youth my enemies have persecuted me.
Let all Israel repeat this:
“they have greatly oppressed me from my youth,
but they have not gained the victory over me.
but they have not gained the victory over me.
From my earliest youth my enemies have persecuted me,
but they have never defeated me.
but they have never defeated me.
Plowmen have plowed my back
and made their furrows long.
and made their furrows long.
My back is covered with cuts,
as if a farmer had plowed long furrows.
as if a farmer had plowed long furrows.
But the Lord is righteous;
he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.”
he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.”
But the LORD is good;
he has cut me free from the ropes of the ungodly.
he has cut me free from the ropes of the ungodly.
May all who hate Zion
be turned back in shame.
be turned back in shame.
May they be like grass on the roof,
which withers before it can grow;
which withers before it can grow;
May they be as useless as grass on a rooftop,
turning yellow when only half grown,
turning yellow when only half grown,
a reaper cannot fill his hands with it,
nor one who gathers fill his arms.
nor one who gathers fill his arms.
ignored by the harvester,
despised by the binder.
