Psalm 129:1-Psalm 130:1 - Protection Of The Oppressed

1 Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up, Let Israel now say: 2 Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up. Yet they have not prevailed against me. 3 The plowers plowed upon my back. They lengthened their furrows. 4 Jehovah is righteous. He has cut to pieces the cords of the wicked.

5 May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward. 6 Let them be like grass upon the housetops. It withers before it grows up. 7 The reaper does not fill his hand with it, or the binder of sheaves his bosom. 8 Nor do those who pass by say: The blessing of Jehovah be upon you! We bless you in the name of Jehovah.

1 Out of the depths of despair I have cried to you, O Jehovah.
