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. |
