Psalm 129

King James Version

1 A Song of degrees. 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.
