Psalm 129:1-8
-
Attacked but not defeated
-
Zion’s haters put to shame (5)
-
A Song of the Ascents.
129 “Since my youth they have constantly attacked me”+
—Let Israel now say—
2 “Since my youth they have constantly attacked me;+But they have not defeated me.+
3 Plowmen have plowed across my back;+They have made their furrows long.”
4 But Jehovah is righteous;+He has cut up the ropes of the wicked.+
5 They will be put to shame and will retreat in disgrace,All those who hate Zion.+
6 They will become like grass on the rooftopsThat withers before it is pulled up,
7 That cannot fill the reaper’s handNor the arms of the one gathering sheaves.
8 Those passing by will not say:
“May the blessing of Jehovah be upon you;We bless you in the name of Jehovah.”
