New International Version |   | |
 |
| |
| | Psa 129:1 | They have greatly oppressed me from my youth-- let Israel say--
| |
| | Psa 129:2 | they have greatly oppressed me from my youth, but they have not gained the victory over me.
| |
| | Psa 129:3 | Plowmen have plowed my back and made their furrows long.
| |
| | Psa 129:4 | But the LORD is righteous; he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.
| |
| | Psa 129:5 | May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame.
| |
| | Psa 129:6 | May they be like grass on the roof, which withers before it can grow;
| |
| | Psa 129:7 | with it the reaper cannot fill his hands, nor the one who gathers fill his arms.
| |
| | Psa 129:8 | May those who pass by not say, "The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD."
