‏ Psalms 129

Prayer for the Overthrow of Zion’s Enemies.

A Song of Ascents.

1 “ ^{▼▼Lit Much}Many times they have ^battacked me from my ^cyouth up,”
^dLet Israel say,
2 “ ^{▼▼Lit Much}Many times they have attacked me from my youth up;
Yet they have ^fnot prevailed against me.
3 “The plowers plowed upon my back;
They lengthened their furrows.”
4 The Lord ^gis righteous;
He has cut up the ^hropes of the wicked.

5 May all who ⁱhate Zion
Be ^jput to shame and turned backward;
6 May they be like ^kgrass upon the housetops,
Which withers before it ^{▼▼Lit draws out}grows up;
7 With which the harvester does not fill his ^{▼▼Lit palm}hand,
Or the binder of sheaves his ^{▼▼Lit the fold of his robe} ^oarms;
8 Nor do those who pass by say,
“The ^pblessing of the Lord be upon you;
We bless you in the name of the Lord.”
