New International Version
Psalm 129
A song of ascents.
1 “They have greatly oppressed(A) me from my youth,”(B)
let Israel say;(C)
2 “they have greatly oppressed me from my youth,
but they have not gained the victory(D) over me.
3 Plowmen have plowed my back
and made their furrows long.
4 But the Lord is righteous;(E)
he has cut me free(F) from the cords of the wicked.”(G)
5 May all who hate Zion(H)
be turned back in shame.(I)
6 May they be like grass on the roof,(J)
which withers(K) before it can grow;
7 a reaper cannot fill his hands with it,(L)
nor one who gathers fill his arms.
8 May those who pass by not say to them,
“The blessing of the Lord be on you;
we bless you(M) in the name of the Lord.”

Yahweh Has Cut the Cords of the Wicked
A Song of Ascents.
129 “[a]Many times they have [b](A)assailed me from my (B)youth up,”
(C)Let Israel now say,
2 “[c]Many times they have [d]assailed me from my youth up;
Yet they have (D)not prevailed against me.
3 The plowers plowed upon my back;
They lengthened their furrows.”
4 Yahweh (E)is righteous;
He has cut up the (F)cords of the wicked.
5 Let all who (G)hate Zion
Be (H)put to shame and turned backward;
6 Let them be like (I)grass upon the rooftops,
Which dries up before it [e]grows up;
7 With which the reaper does not fill his [f]hand,
Nor the binder of sheaves the (J)fold of his garment;
8 And those who pass by will not say,
“The (K)blessing of Yahweh be upon you;
We bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
