Psalm 129
King James Version
129 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
4 The Lord is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we bless you in the name of the Lord.
Psalm 129
Amplified Bible
Prayer for the Overthrow of Zion’s Enemies.
A Song of [a]Ascents.
129 “Many times they have persecuted me (Israel) from my youth,”
Let Israel now say,
2
“Many times they have persecuted me from my youth,
Yet they have not prevailed against me.
3
“The [enemies, like] plowers plowed on my back;
They made their furrows [of suffering] long [in Israel].”
4
The Lord is righteous;
He has cut in two the [thick] cords of the wicked [which enslaved the people of Israel].
5
May all who hate Zion
Be put to shame and turned backward [in defeat].
6
Let them be like the grass on the housetops,
Which withers before it grows up,
7
With which the reaper does not fill his hand,
Nor the binder of sheaves his arms,
8
Nor do those who pass by say,
“The blessing of the Lord be upon you;
We bless you in the name of the Lord.”

Salmos 129
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Plegaria por la caída de los enemigos de Sión
Cántico de ascenso gradual[a].
129 «Muchas veces me han perseguido(A) desde mi juventud(B)»,
Que lo diga ahora Israel(C).
2 «Muchas veces me han perseguido desde mi juventud,
Pero no han prevalecido contra mí(D).
3 Sobre mis espaldas araron los aradores;
Alargaron sus surcos».
4 El Señor es justo(E);
Ha cortado las ataduras de los impíos(F).
5 Sean avergonzados y vueltos atrás(G)
Todos los que odian a Sión(H).
6 Que sean como la hierba en los techos,
Que se seca antes de crecer(I);
7 Con la cual el segador no llena su mano,
Ni el recogedor de gavillas sus brazos(J).
8 Que no digan los que pasan:
«La bendición del Señor sea sobre ustedes;
Los bendecimos en el nombre del Señor(K)».
