Psalm 129:2-4

Expanded Bible

² ·They have treated me badly all my life [^LMany are my foes from my youth],
    but they have not ·defeated [overcome; prevailed over] me.
³ ·Like farmers plowing, they plowed over my back [^LThe plowers plowed my back],
    making ·long wounds [^Ltheir furrows long].
⁴ But the Lord does what is right;
    he has ·set me free from those [^Lcut the cords of] wicked people.
