Psalm 129
ISV Parallel NET [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
International Standard VersionNET Bible
1"Since my youth they have often persecuted me," let Israel repeat it,1A song of ascents. "Since my youth they have often attacked me," let Israel say.
2"Since my youth they have often persecuted me, yet they haven't defeated me.2"Since my youth they have often attacked me, but they have not defeated me.
3Wicked people ploughed over my back, creating long-lasting wounds." 3The plowers plowed 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 just; he cut the ropes of the wicked."
5Let all who hate Zion be turned away and be ashamed.5May all who hate Zion be humiliated and turned back!
6May they become like a tuft of grass on a roof top, that withers before it takes root—6May they be like the grass on the rooftops which withers before one can even pull it up,
7not enough to fill one's hand or to bundle in one's arms.7which cannot fill the reaper's hand, or the lap of the one who gathers the grain!
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."8Those 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."
