Psalms 129:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 129:3

1 “Many a time they have ^aafflicted me from ^bmy youth,”
^cLet Israel now say—

2 “Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth;
Yet they have not prevailed against me.

3 The plowers plowed on my back;
They made their furrows long.”

4 The Lord is righteous;
He has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked.

5 Let all those who hate Zion
Be put to shame and turned back.

6 Let them be as the ^agrass on the housetops,
Which withers before it grows up,

7 With which the reaper does not fill his hand,
Nor he who binds sheaves, his¹ arms.

8 Neither let those who pass by them say,
^a“The blessing of the Lord be upon you;
We bless you in the name of the Lord!”
