Psalms — Chapter 129
The Lord is righteous—Let those be confounded who hate Zion.
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 aprevailed against me.
3
The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
4
The Lordis 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 agrass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
7
Wherewith the amower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
8
Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the Lordbe upon you: we bless you in the name of the Lord.
