King James Version of the Bible

Book of Psalms

Chapter 129

129:1

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

129:2

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

129:3

The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

129:4

The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

129:5

Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

129:6

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

129:7

Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

129:8

Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
