Psalms

Psalm 129

1 MY oppressors have been many from my youth, may Israel now say;

2 My oppressors have been many from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me.

3 They have scourged me upon my back; they have made long their oppression.

4 The LORD is righteous; he will cut asunder the cord of the wicked.

5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

6 Let them be as the grass upon the house tops, which pulls out and withers when the wind strikes it,

7 Wherewith the reaper fills not his hand, nor he who binds sheaves his bosom.

8 Neither do they who pass by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.

1 A Song7892 of degrees.4609 Many7227 a time7227 have they afflicted6887 me from my youth,5271 may Israel3478 now4994 say:559

2 Many7227 a time7227 have they afflicted6887 me from my youth:5271 yet1571 they have not prevailed3201 against me.

3 The plowers2790 plowed2790 on my back:1354 they made long748 their furrows.4618

4 The LORD3068 is righteous:6662 he has cut7112 asunder the cords5688 of the wicked.7563

5 Let them all3605 be confounded954 and turned5472 back268 that hate8130 Zion.6726

6 Let them be as the grass2682 on the housetops,1406 which wither3001 before6924 it grows8025 up:

7 With which the mower7114 fills4390 not his hand;3709 nor he that binds6014 sheaves485 his bosom.2683

8 Neither3808 do they which go5674 by say,559 The blessing1293 of the LORD3068 be on you: we bless1288 you in the name8034 of the LORD.3068
