Psalm 129
A Song of Ascents.
1Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up.
Let Israel now say:
2many times they have afflicted me from my youth up,
yet they have not prevailed against me.
3The plowers plowed on my back.
They made their furrows long.
4YHWH is righteous.
Hᴇ has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
5Let them be disappointed and turned backward,
all those who hate Zion.
6Let them be as the grass on the housetops,
which withers before it grows up,
7with which the reaper can’t fill his hand,
or the bosom of the gatherer.
8May those who pass by not say,
“The blessing of YHWH be on y’all.
We bless y’all in the name of YHWH.”
