Psalms 129
Intro: The security of Israel. (A Song of degrees.)

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 ploughers ploughed 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.
