Psalm 129 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Yahweh Has Cut the Cords of the Wicked

Psa 129:1

A Song of Ascents.

[fn]Many times they have [fn]assailed me from my youth up,”

Let Israel now say,

Psa 129:2

[fn]Many times they have [fn]assailed me from my youth up;

Yet they have not prevailed against me.

Psa 129:3

“The plowers plowed upon my back;

They lengthened their furrows.”

Psa 129:4

Yahweh is righteous;

He has cut up the cords of the wicked.

Psa 129:5

Let all who hate Zion

Be put to shame and turned backward;

Psa 129:6

Let them be like grass upon the rooftops,

Which dries up before it [fn]grows up;

Psa 129:7

With which the reaper does not fill his [fn]hand,

Nor the binder of sheaves the fold of his garment;

Psa 129:8

And those who pass by will not say,

“The blessing of Yahweh be upon you;

We bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
