Chapter 129
|
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. |
