Psalms

Chapter 129

  1. 1

    Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

  2. 2

    Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

  3. 3

    The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

  4. 4

    The Lord is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

    Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

  7. 7

    Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

  8. 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.
