# Psalm 129 [[Ps-128|← Psalm 128]] | [[Psalm]] | [[Ps-130|Psalm 130 →]] *** ###### v1 Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say, ###### v2 many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me. ###### v3 The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long. ###### v4 Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked. ###### v5 Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion. ###### v6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up, ###### v7 with which the reaper doesn't fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom. ###### v8 Neither do those who go by say, "The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in Yahweh's name." *** [[Ps-128|← Psalm 128]] | [[Psalm]] | [[Ps-130|Psalm 130 →]]
