PSALM 129

A Song of degrees.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Book Index

  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.

  5 Let 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.
