Psalms 129

A Song of Affliction

1 They hit me a bunch of times from when I was young, Let Israel say it now.

2 They hit me a bunch of times from when I was young, But they did not get me.

3 The dudes who plowed plowed on my back; They made their furrows long.

4 The Lord is righteous; He cut the ropes of the wicked.

5 Let them all be embarrassed and turn back, Who hate Zion.

6 Let them be like grass on the roofs, Which withers before it grows up,

7 With which the dude who is cutting do not fill his hand, Or the dude who is gathering bundles his arm;

8 And those who pass by do not say, “The blessing of the Lord be on you! We bless you in the name of the Lord!”
