Psalm 129:1-8 CEV

[1] Since the time I was young, enemies have often attacked! Let everyone in Israel say: [2] "Since the time I was young, enemies have often attacked! But they have not defeated me, [3] though my back is like a field that has just been plowed." [4] The LORD always does right, and he has set me free from the ropes of those cruel people. [5] I pray that all who hate the city of Zion will be made ashamed and forced to turn and run. [6] May they be like grass on the flat roof of a house, grass that dries up as soon as it sprouts. [7] Don't let them be like wheat gathered in bundles. [8] And don't let anyone who passes by say to them, "The LORD bless you! I give you my blessing in the name of the LORD."
