Psalms

129

New International Version

1 A song of ascents. They have greatly oppressed me from my youth— let Israel say—

2 but they have not gained the victory over me.

3 and made their furrows long.

4 he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.

5 be turned back in shame.

6 which withers before it can grow;

7 nor the one who gathers fill his arms.

8 “The blessing of the Lord be upon you; we bless you in the name of the Lord.”
