129:1 A
song
of
degrees.
Many
a
time
haue
they
afflicted
me
from
my
youth:
may
Israel
now
say.
129:2 Many
a
time
haue
they
afflicted
me
from
my
youth:
yet
they
haue
not
preuailed
against
mee.
129:3 The
plowers
plowed
vpon
my
backe:
they
made
long
their
furrowes.
129:4 The
Lord
is
righteous:
hee
hath
cut
asunder
the
cordes
of
the
wicked.
129:5 Let
them
all
be
confounded
and
turned
backe,
that
hate
Zion.
129:6 Let
them
bee
as
the
grasse
vpon
the
house
tops:
which
withereth
afore
it
groweth
vp:
129:7 Wherewith
the
mower
filleth
not
his
hand:
nor
hee
that
bindeth
sheaues,
his
bosome.
129:8 Neither
doe
they
which
goe
by,
say,
The
blessing
of
the
Lord
be
vpon
you:
wee
blesse
you
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord.
