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:
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;
From my earliest youth my enemies have persecuted me,
but they have never defeated me.
but they have never defeated me.
“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.
My back is covered with cuts,
as if a farmer had plowed long furrows.
as if a farmer had plowed long furrows.
Plowmen have plowed my back
and made their furrows long.
and made their furrows long.
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.
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.”
May all who hate Zion
be turned back in shame.
be turned back in shame.
May they be as useless as grass on a rooftop,
turning yellow when only half grown,
turning yellow when only half grown,
May they be like grass on the roof,
which withers before it can grow;
which withers before it can grow;
ignored by the harvester,
despised by the binder.
despised by the binder.
a reaper cannot fill his hands with it,
nor one who gathers fill his arms.
nor one who gathers fill his arms.
