129:1 “Since my youth they have often attacked me,” let Israel say. 129:2 “Since my youth they have often attacked me, but they have not defeated me. 129:3 The plowers plowed my back; they made their furrows long. 129:4 The Lord is just; he cut the ropes of the wicked.” 129:5 May all who hate Zion be humiliated and turned back. 129:6 May they be like the grass on the rooftops, which withers before one can even pull it up, 129:7 which cannot fill the reaper’s hand or the lap of the one who gathers the grain. 129:8 Those who pass by will not say, “May you experience the Lord’s blessing! We pronounce a blessing on you in the name of the Lord.”
129:8 A song of ascents.
