A Song of Degrees. 129:1 Many a time have
they warred against me from my youth, let Israel now say:
129:2 Many a time have they warred against me from my youth: and yet they
prevailed not against me.
129:3 The sinners wrought upon my back: they prolonged their iniquity.
129:4 The righteous Lord has cut asunder the necks of sinners.
129:5 Let all that hate Sion be put to shame and turned back.
129:6 Let them be as the grass of the house-tops, which withers before it is
plucked up.
129:7 Wherewith the reaper fills not his hand, nor he that makes up the
sheaves, his bosom.
129:8 Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you:
we have blessed you in the name of the Lord. |
A Song of degrees. 129:1 Many a time have
they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
129:2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not
prevailed against me.
129:3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
129:4 The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
129:5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
129:6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it
groweth up:
129:7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves
his bosom.
129:8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you:
we bless you in the name of the LORD. |
