Read Psalms chapter 129 (Contemporary English Version) on maBible, the Bible online. In this chapter: (A song for worship.), A Prayer for Protection.
1 Since the time I was young, enemies have often attacked! Let everyone in Israel say:
2 “Since the time I was young, enemies have often attacked! But they have not defeated me,
3 though my back is like a field that has just been plowed.”
4 The Lord always does right, and he has set me free from the ropes of those cruel people.
5 I pray that all who hate the city of Zion will be made ashamed and forced to turn and run.
6 May they be like grass on the flat roof of a house, grass that dries up as soon as it sprouts.
7 Don't let them be like wheat gathered in bundles.
8 And don't let anyone who passes by say to them, “The Lord bless you! I give you my blessing in the name of the Lord.”
