Psalm 129

Prayer For The Overthrow Of Zion’s Enemies.

A Song of Ascents. 1“Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up,”
Let Israel now say, 2“Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up;
Yet they have not prevailed against me. 3“The plowers plowed upon my back;
They lengthened their furrows.” 4The LORD is righteous;
He has cut in two the cords of the wicked. 5May all who hate Zion
Be put to shame and turned backward; 6Let them be like grass upon the housetops,
Which withers before it grows up; 7With which the reaper does not fill his hand,
Or the binder of sheaves his bosom; 8Nor do those who pass by say,
“The blessing of the LORD be upon you;
We bless you in the name of the LORD.”
