| Chapter 129 |
1 | Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up, Let Israel now say,
|
2 | Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up: Yet they have not prevailed against me.
|
3 | The plowers plowed upon my back; They made long their furrows.
|
4 | Jehovah is righteous: He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
|
5 | Let them be put to shame and turned backward, All they that hate Zion.
|
6 | Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, Which withereth before it groweth up;
|
7 | Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, Nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
|
8 | Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of Jehovah be upon you; We bless you in the name of Jehovah. Psalm 130 A Song of Ascents.
