Chapter 129 |
| 1 | Many a time
have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: |
| 2 | Many a
time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against
me. |
| 3 |
The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their
furrows. |
| 4
| The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of
the wicked. |
| 5
| Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate
Zion. |
| 6 |
Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth
afore it groweth up: |
| 7 | Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor
he that bindeth sheaves his bosom. |
| 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. |
