129:2 "Many times they have afflicted me from my youth; yet they have not prevailed over me. |
129:3 The plowers plowed upon my back; they made their furrows long." |
129:4 The LORD is righteous; He cuts off the cords of the wicked. |
129:5 Let them all be ashamed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion. |
129:6 Let them be like the grass upon the housetops which withers away before it grows up, |
129:7 With which the reaper does not fill his hand, nor the binder of sheaves his bosom. |
129:8 Neither let those who pass by them say, "The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD." |
