Book - Psalms - Chapter = 129 --> NLT
-
From my earliest youth my enemies have persecuted me--let Israel now say--
-
from my earliest youth my enemies have persecuted me, but they have never been able to finish me off.
-
My back is covered with cuts, as if a farmer had plowed long furrows.
-
But the LORD is good; he has cut the cords used by the ungodly to bind me.
-
May all who hate Jerusalem be turned back in shameful defeat.
-
May they be as useless as grass on a rooftop, turning yellow when only half grown,
-
ignored by the harvester, despised by the binder.
-
And may those who pass by refuse to give them this blessing: "The LORD's blessings be upon you; we bless you in the LORD's name."
