English Standard Version
Psalms 129
|
They Have Afflicted Me from My Youth
A Song of (a)Ascents.
1 "Greatly[a] have they (b)afflicted me (c)from my youth"—
(d)let Israel now say—
2 "Greatly have they (e)afflicted me (f)from my youth,
(g)yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 (h)The plowers plowed (i)upon my back;
they made long their furrows."
4 The Lord is righteous;
he has cut (j)the cords of the wicked.
5 May all who hate Zion
be (k)put to shame and turned backward!
6 Let them be like (l)the grass on the housetops,
which (m)withers before it grows up,
7 with which the reaper does not fill his hand
nor the binder of sheaves his arms,
8 nor do those who pass by say,
(n)"The blessing of the Lord be upon you!
We (o)bless you in the name of the Lord!"
