Psalms 129

Psalms

A song of ascents.

The Cords of the Wicked

1<A Song of the going up.> Great have been my troubles from the time when I was young (let Israel now say);+ 2Great have been my troubles from the time when I was young, but my troubles have not overcome me.+ 3The ploughmen were ploughing on my back; long were the wounds they made.+ 4The Lord is true: the cords of the evil-doers are broken in two.+ 5Let all the haters of Zion be shamed and turned back.+ 6Let them be like the grass on the house-tops, which is dry before it comes to full growth.+ 7He who gets in the grain has no use for it; and they do not make bands of it for the grain-stems.+ 8And those who go by do not say, The blessing of the Lord be on you; we give you blessing in the name of the Lord.+
