Psalm 129 – read and compare multiple versions of the Bible

^[1] Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say:
^[2] many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.
^[3] The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.
^[4] Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
^[5] Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.
^[6] Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,
^[7] with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.
^[8] Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in Yahweh’s name.”
