Psalm 129New King James Version
Song of Victory over Zion’s Enemies
A Song of Ascents.
129 “Many a time they have(A)afflicted[a]me from(B)my youth,”
(C)Let Israel now say—
2 “Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth;
Yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 The plowers plowed on my back;
They made their furrows long.”
4 TheLordisrighteous;
He has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked.
5 Let all those who hate Zion
Be put to shame and turned back.
6 Let them be as the(D)grassonthe housetops,
Which withers before it grows up,
7 With which the reaper does not fill his hand,
Nor he who binds sheaves, his[b]arms.
8 Neither let those who pass by them say,
(E)“The blessing of theLordbeupon you;
We bless you in the name of theLord!”
