Psalms 129 — WEBC

A Song of Ascents.

129Verse 1Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up.Let Israel now say:^{Verse 2}many times they have afflicted me from my youth up,yet they have not prevailed against me.^{Verse 3}The plowers plowed on my back.They made their furrows long.^{Verse 4}The LORD is righteous.He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.^{Verse 5}Let them be disappointed and turned backward,all those who hate Zion.^{Verse 6}Let them be as the grass on the housetops,which withers before it grows up,^{Verse 7}with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand,nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.^{Verse 8}Neither do those who go by say,“The blessing of the LORD be on you.
We bless you in the LORD’s name.”
