Psalm 129:4-6

Contemporary English Version

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.
