Psalm 129:1-8 MEV

[1] "Often they have afflicted me from my youth," may Israel now say, [2] "often they have afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me. [3] The plowmen plowed upon my back; they made their furrows long." [4] The LORD is righteous; He has cut the cords of the wicked. [5] Let all those be shamed and turned back who hate Zion. [6] Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it even grows, [7] where the reaper is unable to fill his hand, or he who binds sheaves, his arms. [8] Neither do they who pass by say, "The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD!"
