Psalm 129
	
		
		
	
	
	
					
				1 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up, Let Israel now say,
			 
					
				2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up: Yet they have not prevailed against me.
			 
					
				3 The plowers plowed upon my back; They made long their furrows.
			 
					
				4 Jehovah is righteous: He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
			 
					
				5 Let them be put to shame and turned backward, All they that hate Zion.
			 
					
				6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, Which withereth before it groweth up;
			 
					
				7 Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, Nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
			 
					
				8 Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of Jehovah be upon you; We bless you in the name of Jehovah.           Psalm 130       A Song of Ascents.
