Psalm 129
NIV Parallel NASB [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New International VersionNew American Standard Bible 1995
1A song of ascents. "They have greatly oppressed me from my youth," let Israel say;1A Song of Ascents. "Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up," Let Israel now say,
2"they have greatly oppressed me from my youth, but they have not gained the victory over me.2"Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up; Yet they have not prevailed against me.
3Plowmen have plowed my back and made their furrows long.3"The plowers plowed upon my back; They lengthened their furrows."
4But the LORD is righteous; he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked."4The LORD is righteous; He has cut in two the cords of the wicked.
5May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame.5May all who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned backward;
6May they be like grass on the roof, which withers before it can grow;6Let them be like grass upon the housetops, Which withers before it grows up;
7a reaper cannot fill his hands with it, nor one who gathers fill his arms.7With which the reaper does not fill his hand, Or the binder of sheaves his bosom;
8May those who pass by not say to them, "The blessing of the LORD be on you; we bless you in the name of the LORD."8Nor do those who pass by say, "The blessing of the LORD be upon you; We bless you in the name of the LORD."
