Psalm 129
God's goodness in saving Israel from her great afflictions, and a prayer against the haters of Zion.


A Song of degrees.


1 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth[1], may Israel now say:

2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me[2].

3 The plowers plowed upon my back[3]: they made long their furrows.

4 The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked[4].

5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

6 Let them be as the grass[5] upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up[6]:

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[7].
