Psalms 129

   |   

Prayer for the Overthrow of Zion's Enemies.

A Song of Ascents.

1 "(F1)Many times they have (C1)attacked me from my (C2)youth up,"
(C3)Let Israel say,

2 "(F1)Many times they have attacked me from my youth up;
Yet they have (C1)not prevailed against me.

3 "The plowers plowed upon my back;
They lengthened their furrows."

4 The LORD (C1)is righteous;
He has cut up the (C2)ropes of the wicked.

5 May all who (C1)hate Zion
Be (C2)put to shame and turned backward;

6 May they be like (C1)grass upon the housetops,
Which withers before it (F1)grows up;

7 With which the harvester does not fill his (F1)hand,
Or the binder of sheaves his (F2)(C1)arms;

8 Nor do those who pass by say,
"The (C1)blessing of the LORD be upon you;
We bless you in the name of the LORD."
