Psalms - Chapter 129 - A Conservative Version
- Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say,
- Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.
- The plowers plowed upon my back. They made long their furrows.
- LORD is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
- Let them be put to shame and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.
- Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withers before it grows up,
- with which the reaper fills not his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.
- Neither do those who go by say, The blessing of LORD be upon you. We bless you in the name of LORD.
