Psalm 129:1–5

A Song of Ascents.

1 	“Greatly1 have they afflicted me from my ayouth”—
		blet Israel now say—
2 	“Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth,
		yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 	The plowers plowed upon my back;
		they made long their furrows.”
4 	The Lord is righteous;
		he has cut the cords of the wicked.
5 	cMay all who hate Zion
		be put to shame and turned backward!
