| 129:1 | Song of Victory over Zion's EnemiesA Song of Ascents. "Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth," Let Israel now say-- |
| 129:2 | Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth; Yet they have not prevailed against me. |
| 129:3 | The plowers plowed on my back; They made their furrows long." |
| 129:4 | The LORD is righteous; He has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked. |
| 129:5 | Let all those who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned back. |
| 129:6 | Let them be as the grass on the housetops, Which withers before it grows up, |
| 129:7 | With which the reaper does not fill his hand, Nor he who binds sheaves, his arms. |
| 129:8 | Neither let those who pass by them say, "The blessing of the LORD be upon you; We bless you in the name of the LORD!" |
