Psalm 129
ISV Parallel BSB [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
International Standard VersionBerean Study Bible
1"Since my youth they have often persecuted me," let Israel repeat it,1A song of ascents. Many a time they have persecuted me from my youth—let Israel now declare—
2"Since my youth they have often persecuted me, yet they haven't defeated me.2many a time they have persecuted me from my youth, but they have not prevailed against me.
3Wicked people ploughed over my back, creating long-lasting wounds." 3The plowmen plowed over my back; they made their furrows long.
4The LORD is righteous— he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.4The LORD is righteous; He has cut me from the cords of the wicked.
5Let all who hate Zion be turned away and be ashamed.5May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame.
6May they become like a tuft of grass on a roof top, that withers before it takes root—6May they be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can grow,
7not enough to fill one's hand or to bundle in one's arms.7unable to fill the hands of the reaper, or the arms of the binder of sheaves.
8And may those who pass by never tell them, "May the LORD's blessing be upon you. We bless you in the name of the LORD."8May none who pass by say to them, “The blessing of the LORD be on you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.”
