129:1  “Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth”—may Israel now say—
129:2  “many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me.
129:3  The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.”
129:4  The Lord is righteous; He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
129:5  Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
129:6  Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth before it groweth up,
129:7  wherewith the mower filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves, his bosom.
129:8  Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of the Lord be upon you; we bless you in the name of the Lord.”
