Salmos 129

Muitas vezes me angustiaram

"They've kicked me around ever since I was young"--this is how Israel tells it-- ²"They've kicked me around ever since I was young, but they never could keep me down. ³Their plowmen plowed long furrows up and down my back; ⁴Then GOD ripped the harnesses of the evil plowmen to shreds."

⁵Oh, let all those who hate Zion grovel in humiliation; ⁶Let them be like grass in shallow ground that withers before the harvest, ⁷Before the farmhands can gather it in, the harvesters get in the crop, ⁸Before the neighbors have a chance to call out, "Congratulations on your wonderful crop! We bless you in GOD's name!"
