Psalm 129:1-8 ICB

[1] They have treated me badly all my life. (Let Israel repeat this.) [2] They have treated me badly all my life. But they have not defeated me. [3] Like farmers plowing, they plowed over my back, making long wounds. [4] But the Lord does what is right. He has set me free from those wicked people. [5] Let those who hate Jerusalem be turned back in shame. [6] Let them be like the grass on the roof. It dries up before it has grown. [7] There is not enough of it to fill a man's hand or to make into a bundle to fill his arms. [8] Let those who pass by them not say, "May the Lord bless you. We bless you by the power of the Lord."
