129:1 A Song of degrees. Many a time have they afflicted me from
my youth, may Israel now say:
129:2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they
have not prevailed against me.
129:3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their
furrows.
129:4 The LORD [is] righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of
the wicked.
129:5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
129:6 Let them be as the grass [upon] the house-tops, which
withereth before it groweth up:
129:7 With which the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that
bindeth sheaves, his bosom.
129:8 Neither do they who go by, say, The blessing of the LORD
[be] upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
