129:1 Persecuted from my earliest youth (Israel is speaking),
129:2 and faced with never-ending discrimination—but not destroyed! My enemies have never been able to finish me off!
129:3 Though my back is cut to ribbons with their whips, the Lord is good. For he has snapped the chains that evil men had bound me with.
129:4 Though my back is cut to ribbons with their whips, the Lord is good. For he has snapped the chains that evil men had bound me with.
129:5 May all who hate the Jews be brought to ignominious defeat.
129:6 May they be as grass in shallow soil, turning sere and yellow when half grown, ignored by the reaper, despised by the binder.
129:7 May they be as grass in shallow soil, turning sere and yellow when half grown, ignored by the reaper, despised by the binder.
129:8 And may those passing by refuse to bless them by saying, “Jehovah’s blessings be upon you; we bless you in Jehovah’s name.”
