Psalm 129
KJV Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
King James BibleInternational Standard Version
1A Song of degrees. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:1"Since my youth they have often persecuted me," let Israel repeat it,
2Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.2"Since my youth they have often persecuted me, yet they haven't defeated me.
3The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.3Wicked people ploughed over my back, creating long-lasting wounds."
4The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.4The LORD is righteous— he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.
5Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.5Let all who hate Zion be turned away and be ashamed.
6Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:6May they become like a tuft of grass on a roof top, that withers before it takes root—
7Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.7not enough to fill one's hand or to bundle in one's arms.
8Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.8And may those who pass by never tell them, "May the LORD's blessing be upon you. We bless you in the name of the LORD."
