Psalms - Chapter 129

Chapter 128 | Psalms | Contents

1 | Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
2 | Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 | The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
4 | The Lord is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
5 | Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
6 | Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
7 | Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
8 | Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we bless you in the name of the Lord.
