Psalm 129

1. 1

   "Greatly have they oppressed me since my youth," *
   let Israel now say;

2. 2

   "Greatly have they oppressed me since my youth, *
   but they have not prevailed against me."

3. 3

   The plowmen plowed upon my back *
   and made their furrows long.

4. 4

   The LORD, the Righteous One, *
   has cut the cords of the wicked.

5. 5

   Let them be put to shame and thrown back, *
   all those who are enemies of Zion.

6. 6

   Let them be like grass upon the housetops, *
   which withers before it can be plucked;

7. 7

   Which does not fill the hand of the reaper, *
   nor the bosom of him who binds the sheaves;

8. 8

   So that those who go by say not so much as, "The LORD prosper you. *
   We wish you well in the Name of the LORD."
