Psalms 129
Theme: Confidence in times of persecution. God will bring us through the tough times.
A Song of degrees.
1Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: +
2Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me. +
3The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
4The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
5Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. +
6Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up: +
7Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
8Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD. +
