PSALM 129.

A Song of degrees.

1 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: ^{▼▼ Many…: or, Much} 2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me. ^{▼▼ Many…: or, Much} 3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows. 4 The Lord is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. 5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. 6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up: 7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom. 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.
