Psalms 129:1
The End of the Oppressors of Zion Just as Psa 124:1-8 with the words “let Israel say” was followed by Psa 125:1-5 with “peace be upon Israel,” so Psa 128:1-6 with “peace be upon Israel” is followed by Psa 129:1-8 with “let Israel say.” This Psa 129:1-8 has not only the call “let Israel say,” but also the situation of a deliverance that has been experienced (cf. Psa 129:4 with Psa 124:6.), from which point it looks gratefully back and confidently forward into the future, and an Aramaic tinge that is noticeable here and there by the side of all other classical character of form, in common with Psa 124:1-8.
