Psalm 129 - King James Version (Oxford) 1769A Song of degrees. 1 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, May Israel now say: 2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: Yet they have not prevailed against me. 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. |
