Authorized (King James) Version
Psalm 129
A Song of degrees.
1 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth,
may Israel now say:
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.
