Psalms 129 — ILT

129Verse 1“A song of the degrees.” Many a time have they assailed me from my youth, so should Israel say;^{Verse 2}Many a time have they assailed me from my youth: yet have they not prevailed against me.^{Verse 3}Upon my back have ploughmen ploughed; they have drawn long their furrows:^{Verse 4}[Yet] the Lord is righteous; he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.^{Verse 5}May all be put to shame and turned backward that hate Zion;^{Verse 6}May they become like the grass of the roofs, which withereth before it is pulled up;^{Verse 7}Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor his arm he that bindeth sheaves.^{Verse 8}Nor do they who pass by say, The blessing of the Lord be with you: we bless you in the name of the Lord.
