Psalm 129 :: Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

Protection of the Oppressed

A song of ascents.

¶

Since my youth they have often attacked me —

let Israel say —

¶

since my youth they have often attacked me,

but they have not prevailed against me.

¶

Plowmen plowed over my back;

they made their furrows long.

¶

The LORD is righteous;

he has cut the ropes of the wicked.

¶

Let all who hate Zion

be driven back in disgrace.

¶

Let them be like grass on the rooftops,

which withers before it grows up[fn]

¶

and can’t even fill the hands of the reaper

or the arms of the one who binds sheaves.

¶

Then none who pass by will say,

“May the LORD’s blessing be on you.

We bless you in the name of the LORD.”
