129:1 A song for going up to worship. They have treated me badly all my life. (Let Israel repeat this.)
129:2 They have treated me badly all my life, but they have not defeated me.
129:3 Like farmers plowing, they plowed over my back, making long wounds.
129:4 But the Lord does what is right; he has set me free from those wicked people.
129:5 Let those who hate Jerusalem be turned back in shame.
129:6 Let them be like the grass on the roof that dries up before it has grown.
129:7 There is not enough of it to fill a hand or to make into a bundle to fill one’s arms.
129:8 Let those who pass by them not say, “May the Lord bless you. We bless you by the power of the Lord.”
