Psalms 129
Reading Psalms chapter 129 in the Webster's Bible, public-domain text from 1833.
Verses 1–8
1 A Song of degrees. 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 house-tops, which withereth before it groweth up:
7 With which the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves, his bosom.
8 Neither do they who go by, say, The blessing of the LORD [be] upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
