Psalm 129 :: New International Version (NIV)

Psa 129:1A song of ascents. “They have greatly oppressed me from my youth,” let Israel say;

Psa 129:2“they have greatly oppressed me from my youth, but they have not gained the victory over me.

Psa 129:3Plowmen have plowed my back and made their furrows long.

Psa 129:4But the LORD is righteous; he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.”

Psa 129:5May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame.

Psa 129:6May they be like grass on the roof, which withers before it can grow;

Psa 129:7a reaper cannot fill his hands with it, nor one who gathers fill his arms.

Psa 129:8May those who pass by not say to them, “The blessing of the LORD be on you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.”
