Psalm 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.
