­PSA 129:1  Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now

 say:

 

­PSA 129:2  Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not

 prevailed against me.

 

­PSA 129:3  The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

 

­PSA 129:4  The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

 

­PSA 129:5  Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

 

­PSA 129:6  Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore

 it groweth up:

 

­PSA 129:7  Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth

 sheaves his bosom.

 

­PSA 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.
