1 Psalm 129 Yahweh Has Cut the Cords of the Wicked A Song of Ascents.“ 129:1Lit Much Many times they have 129:1Lit showed hostility toward assailed me from my youth up,”Let Israel now say,
2 “ 129:2Lit Much Many times they have 129:2Lit showed hostility toward assailed me from my youth up;Yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 “The plowers plowed upon my back;They lengthened their furrows.”
4 Yahweh is righteous;He has cut up the cords of the wicked.
5 ¶Let all who hate ZionBe put to shame and turned backward;
6 Let them be like grass upon the rooftops,Which dries up before it 129:6Lit draws out grows up;
7 With which the reaper does not fill his 129:7Lit palm hand,Nor the binder of sheaves the fold of his garment;
8 And those who pass by will not say,“The blessing of Yahweh be upon you;We bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
