Psalms 129
Easy-to-Read Version, 2006
- 1All my life enemies have attacked me. Say it again, Israel.
- 2All my life enemies have attacked me, but they have never defeated me.
- 3They beat me until I had deep cuts. My back looked like a freshly plowed field.
- 4But the LORD does what is right; he cut the ropes and set me free from those wicked people.
- 5May those who hate Zion be put to shame. May they be stopped and chased away.
- 6They will be like grass on a flat roof that dies before it has time to grow.
- 7The one who goes to harvest it will not find enough to cut and stack.
- 8May no one walking by those wicked people ever say, “May the LORD bless you! We bless you in the name of the LORD.”
