Psalms 129:2 - Compare All Versions

Deildu

“They’ve kicked me around ever since I was young” —this is how Israel tells it— “They’ve kicked me around ever since I was young, but they never could keep me down. Their plowmen plowed long furrows up and down my back; But GOD wouldn’t put up with it, he sticks with us. Then GOD ripped the harnesses of the evil plowmen to shreds.”

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: Yet they have not prevailed against me.

“Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up; Yet they have not prevailed against me.

They have treated me badly all my life, but they have not defeated me.

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up: Yet they have not prevailed against me.

“they have greatly oppressed me from my youth, but they have not gained the victory over me.

“Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth; Yet they have not prevailed against me.

“Many times they have persecuted me from my youth, Yet they have not prevailed against me.

From my earliest youth my enemies have persecuted me, but they have never defeated me.

And from our very beginning we have faced never-ending discrimination. Nevertheless, our enemies have not defeated us. We’re still here!

“Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me.
