psalms129
- 1Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
- 2Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
- 3The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
- 4The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
- 5Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
- 6Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
- 7Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
- 8Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
