Psalms
Chapter 129
1 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: A Song of degrees.
2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me. A Song of degrees.
3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows. A Song of degrees.
4 The Lord is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. A Song of degrees.
5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. A Song of degrees.
6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up: A Song of degrees.
7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom. A Song of degrees.
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.
