Psalm 129-130 New King James Version (NKJV)
Song of Victory over Zion’s Enemies
A Song of Ascents.
129 “Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth,”
Let Israel now say—
2
“Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth;
Yet they have not prevailed against me.
3
The plowers plowed on my back;
They made their furrows long.”
4
The Lord is righteous;
He has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked.
5
Let all those who hate Zion
Be put to shame and turned back.
6
Let them be as the grass on the housetops,
Which withers before it grows up,
7
With which the reaper does not fill his hand,
Nor he who binds sheaves, his arms.
8
Neither let those who pass by them say,
“The blessing of the Lord be upon you;
We bless you in the name of the Lord!”
Waiting for the Redemption of the Lord
A Song of Ascents.
130 Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord;
2
Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.
3
If You, Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
4
But there is forgiveness with You,
That You may be feared.
5
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
And in His word I do hope.
6
My soul waits for the Lord
More than those who watch for the morning—
Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.
7
O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is mercy,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
8
And He shall redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.
