| PsalmsPsalm 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. |
