Psalms 129

Ps 129 The psalmist briefly reviews Israel’s history of trouble (129:1-2) and redemption (129:3-4). He concludes with curses against the enemies and blessings on the godly (129:5-6).129:1-2 Israel’s earliest youth as a nation was during its sojourn in Egypt.

129:3-4 the Lord is good: He rescued Israel from Egypt, from many enemy attacks, and from the Babylonian exile.

129:6-8 Grass on a rooftop had shallow roots and would scorch easily. A crop was ignored by the harvester when the yield was low. The enemies who had sown hurt among God’s people would gain little.
