King James Version

Psalms • Chapter 129

1 A song of ascents: "From my youth, Israel will say, 'I have been greatly oppressed.'" 2 Many have oppressed me from my youth; yet they have not prevailed against me. 3 On my back, the plowmen plowed; they prolonged their furrows for them. 4 The Lord is righteous; He cuts off the cords of the wicked. 5 Let them be ashamed and turn back, all who hate Zion. 6 Let them be like the greenery of rooftops that withers before it produces. 7 He does not fill his hand with a thorn and his outer garment with a net. 8 And the ones passing by did not say, "The blessing of Yahweh be upon you"; we blessed you in the name of Yahweh.
