| Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
|
| 129:2
| Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not
prevailed against me.
|
| 129:3
| The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
|
| 129:4
| The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
|
| 129:5
| Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
|
| 129:6
| Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it
groweth up:
|
| 129:7
| Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves
his bosom.
|
| 129:8
| Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you:
we bless you in the name of the LORD.
