Psalms 129

1 A Song7892 of degrees4609. Many a time7227 have they afflicted6887 me from my youth5271, may Israel3478 now say559: Many: or, Much

2 Many a time7227 have they afflicted6887 me from my youth5271: yet they have not prevailed3201 against me. Many: or, Much

3 The plowers2790 plowed2790 upon my back1354: they made long748 their furrows4618 4618.

4 The LORD3068 is righteous6662: he hath cut asunder7112 the cords5688 of the wicked7563.

5 Let them all be confounded954 and turned5472 back268 that hate8130 Zion6726.

6 Let them be as the grass2682 upon the housetops1406, which withereth3001 afore6927 it groweth up8025:

7 Wherewith the mower7114 filleth4390 not his hand3709; nor he that bindeth sheaves6014 his bosom2683.

8 Neither do they which go by5674 say559, The blessing1293 of the LORD3068 be upon you: we bless1288 you in the name8034 of the LORD3068.
