Psalms 129

"

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

"
"

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

"
"

The Lord is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

"
"

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

"
"

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

"
"

Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

"
"

Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we bless you in the name of the Lord.

"
