katapi HOME Psalms 129:1 - Prayer against Israel's Enemies.  Psalm 129(v128)
129 1 "Sorely have they afflicted me from my youth,"
let Israel now say - 129 2 "Sorely have they afflicted me from my youth,
yet they have not prevailed against me.
129 3 The plowers plowed upon my back;
they made long their furrows."
129 4 Yahweh is righteous;
he has cut the cords of the wicked.
129 5 May all who hate Zion
be put to shame and turned backward!
129 6 Let them be like the grass on the housetops,
which withers before it grows up,
129 7 with which the reaper does not fill his hand
or the binder of sheaves his bosom,
129 8 while those who pass by do not say,
"The blessing of Yahweh be upon you!
We bless you in the name of Yahweh!"
