OEB - Psalms - 129

129:1  “Sore have they vexed me from youth” thus let Israel say

129:2  “Sore have they vexed me from youth, but they have not prevailed against me.

129:3  The ploughers ploughed on my back, they made their furrows long.

129:4  But the Lord, who is righteous, has cut the cords of the wicked.”

129:5  Let all who are haters of Zion be put to shame and defeated.

129:6  May they be as the grass on the house-top, which withers before it shoots up;

129:7  which fills not the arms of the reaper, nor the lap of the binder of sheaves,

129:8  whereof no one says as they pass, “The blessing of God be upon you.” In the name of the Lord we bless you.
