PSALM 129
A Song of degrees.
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.
5Let 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.
