Psalms 129
1. <<A Song of degrees.>> 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.
