Psalms

Chapter 128

  1. 1

    Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.

  2. 2

    Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.

  3. 3

    The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.

  4. 4

    The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:

  5. 5

    Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.

  6. 6

    Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up:

  7. 7

    Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.

  8. 8

    And they that have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
