Salmos 129

¹ A Song of Ascents. 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up', let Israel now say;

² 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up; but they have not prevailed against me.

³ The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.

⁴ The LORD is righteous; He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.'

⁵ Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all they that hate Zion.

⁶ Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it springeth up;

⁷ Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

⁸ Neither do they that go by say: 'The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.'
