^1. Psalm 129 A song of ascents.

^1. They have greatly oppressed me from my youth-- let Israel say--

^2. they have greatly oppressed me from my youth, but they have not gained the victory over me.

^3. Plowmen have plowed my back and made their furrows long.

^4. But the LORD is righteous; he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.

^5. May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame.

^6. May they be like grass on the roof, which withers before it can grow;

^7. with it the reaper cannot fill his hands, nor the one who gathers fill his arms.

^8. May those who pass by not say, "The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD."
