Psalm 129
A Prayer for the
Overthrow of Zion's Enemies |
|
| 1 |
Many a time have they afflicted me from
my youth,
|
| 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. |
|
