Psalms 129
129
Persecuted But Not Defeated
A song of the stairway
1Let all Israel admit it.
From our very beginning we have been persecuted by the nations.
2And from our very beginning
we have faced never-ending discrimination.
Nevertheless, our enemies have not defeated us. We’re still here!
3They have hurt us more than can be expressed,
ripping us to shreds, cutting deeply into our souls.
4But no matter what, the Lord is good to us.
He is a righteous God who stood to defend us,
breaking the chains of the evil ones that bound us.
5May all who hate the Jews
fall back in disgrace to a shameful defeat!
6Let them be like grass planted in shallow soil
that soon withers with no sustenance.
7Let them be like weeds ignored by the reaper
and worthless to the harvester.
8Let no one who sees them say,
“May the blessings of Yahweh be upon your life.
May the Lord bless you.” # 129:8 In the Jewish culture, if you passed by one who was harvesting his crops, you would shout out, “The Lord bless you!”

PSALM 129
1 The song of degrees. Israel say now; Oft they have fought against me from my youth.
2Oft they [have] fought against me from my youth; and soothly they might not to me
3Sinners forged on my back; they made long their wickedness.
4The Lord is just [or rightwise], he shall beat the nolls of sinners;
5all that hate Zion be they shamed, and turned aback.
6Be they made as the hay of housetops; that dried up, before that it be drawn up.
7Of which hay he that shall reap, shall not fill his hand; and he that shall gather handfuls, shall not fill his bosom.
8And they that passed forth said not, The blessing of the Lord be on you; we blessed you in the name of the Lord.
