Psalm 129
ISV Parallel NASB [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
International Standard VersionNew American Standard Bible 1995
1"Since my youth they have often persecuted me," let Israel repeat it,1A Song of Ascents. "Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up," Let Israel now say,
2"Since my youth they have often persecuted me, yet they haven't defeated me.2"Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up; Yet they have not prevailed against me.
3Wicked people ploughed over my back, creating long-lasting wounds." 3"The plowers plowed upon my back; They lengthened their furrows."
4The LORD is righteous— he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.4The LORD is righteous; He has cut in two the cords of the wicked.
5Let all who hate Zion be turned away and be ashamed.5May all who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned backward;
6May they become like a tuft of grass on a roof top, that withers before it takes root—6Let them be like grass upon the housetops, Which withers before it grows up;
7not enough to fill one's hand or to bundle in one's arms.7With which the reaper does not fill his hand, Or the binder of sheaves his bosom;
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."8Nor do those who pass by say, "The blessing of the LORD be upon you; We bless you in the name of the LORD."
