Parallel
Psalms 129
World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible
Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up.
A song of ascents. Many a time they have persecuted me from my youth—let Israel now declare—
many times they have afflicted me from my youth up,
many a time they have persecuted me from my youth, but they have not prevailed against me.
The ploughers ploughed on my back.
The plowmen plowed over my back; they made their furrows long.
Let them be as the grass on the housetops,
May they be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can grow,
with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand,
unable to fill the hands of the reaper, or the arms of the binder of sheaves.
Neither do those who go by say,
May none who pass by say to them, “The blessing of the LORD be on you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.”
