Psalm 129

Send us Fan MailSong of Victory over Zion's EnemiesA Psalm of Ascent1 From my earliest youth my enemies have persecuted me.  Let all Israel repeat this:  2 From my earliest youth my enemies have persecuted me, but they have never defeated me.  3 My back is covered with cuts, as if a farmer had plowed long furrows.  4 But Yehovah is good; he has cut me free from the ropes of the ungodly.  5 May all who hate Jerusalem be turned back in shameful defeat.  6 May they be as useless as grass on a rooftop, turning yellow when only half grown, 7 Ignored by the harvester, despised by the binder.   8 And may those who pass by refuse to give them this blessing:  "Yehovah bless you; we bless you in Yehovah's name."
