Greek Psalm 128

The Ploughers Ploughed Upon My Back and Made Long Furrows

← Greek Psalm 127  ·  Psalms: all chapters  ·  Greek Psalm 129 →

128:1A song of the ascents.

Many times they fought against me from my youth—

let Israel now say—

128:2many times they fought against me from my youth,

and indeed they did not prevail over me.

128:3On my back sinners worked;

they prolonged their lawlessness.

128:4The righteous Lord cut apart

the necks of sinners.

128:5May all who hate Zion

be put to shame and turn backward.

128:6May they become like grass on roofs,

which dried up before it was pulled out,

128:7with which no reaper has filled his hand,

nor the one gathering sheaves his bosom,

128:8And passersby have not said,

“The Lord’s blessing be upon you;

we have blessed you in the Lord’s name.”
