Psalms 129

King James (Authorized) Version · 8 verses

  1. 1 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
  2. 2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
  3. 3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
  4. 4 The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
  5. 5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
  6. 6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
  7. 7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
  8. 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.
