Psalm 129 (King James Version)

Psalm 129

 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.
