Psalms - Chapter 129 | American Standard Version

  • 1. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up, Let Israel now say,
  • 2. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up: Yet they have not prevailed against me.
  • 3. The plowers plowed upon my back; They made long their furrows.
  • 4. Jehovah is righteous: He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
  • 5. Let them be put to shame and turned backward, All they that hate Zion.
  • 6. Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, Which withereth before it groweth up;
  • 7. Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, Nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
  • 8. Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of Jehovah be upon you; We bless you in the name of Jehovah.
