Psalm 129
New American Standard Bible►► 

Prayer for the Overthrow of Zion’s Enemies.

A Song of Ascents.

1[a]Many times they have attacked me from my youth up,”

Let Israel say,

2[b]Many times they have attacked me from my youth up;

Yet they have not prevailed against me.

3“The plowers plowed upon my back;

They lengthened their furrows.”

4The LORD is righteous;

He has cut up the ropes of the wicked.

5May all who hate Zion

Be put to shame and turned backward;

6May they be like grass upon the housetops,

Which withers before it [c]grows up;

7With which the harvester does not fill his [d]hand,

Or the binder of sheaves his [e]arms;

8Nor do those who pass by say,

“The blessing of the LORD be upon you;

We bless you in the name of the LORD.”



[a] 1 Lit Much
[b] 2 Lit Much
[c] 6 Lit draws out
[d] 7 Lit palm
[e] 7 Lit the fold of his robe
