1A song of ascents. “Sore have they vexed me from youth” thus let Israel say
2“Sore have they vexed me from youth, but they have not prevailed against me.
3“The ploughers ploughed on my back, they made their furrows long.
4But the Lord, who is righteous, has cut the cords of the wicked.”
5Let all who are haters of Zion be put to shame and defeated.
Psalms 129
Psalms 129:1-5
