Psalms Chapter 129 - Darby Version

1

{A Song of degrees.} Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth -- oh let Israel say --

2

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth; yet they have not prevailed against me.

3

The ploughers ploughed upon my back; they made long their furrows.

4

Jehovah is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

5

Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all that hate Zion;

6

Let them be as the grass upon the house-tops, which withereth before it is plucked up,

7

Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom;

8

Neither do the passers-by say, The blessing of Jehovah be upon you; we bless you in the name of Jehovah!
