PSALM 129
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Oft did they vex me from my youth,
may Isr'el now declare;
2Oft did they vex me from my youth,
yet not victorious were.
3The plowers plow'd upon my back;
they long their furrows drew.
4The righteous Lord did cut the cords
of the ungodly crew.
5Let Sion's haters all be turn'd
back with confusion.
6As grass on houses' tops be they,
which fades ere it be grown:
7Whereof enough to fill his hand
the mower cannot find;
Nor can the man his bosom fill,
whose work is sheaves to bind.
8Neither say they who do go by,
God's blessing on you rest:
We in the name of God
the Lord do wish you to be blest.

Psalms 129
129
1A song of degrees. They haue often times afflicted me from my youth (may Israel nowe say) 2They haue often times afflicted me from my youth: but they could not preuaile against me. 3The plowers plowed vpon my backe, and made long furrowes. 4But the righteous Lord hath cut the cordes of the wicked. 5They that hate Zion, shalbe all ashamed and turned backward. 6They shalbe as the grasse on the house tops, which withereth afore it commeth forth. 7Whereof the mower filleth not his hand, neither the glainer his lap: 8Neither they, which go by, say, The blessing of the Lord be vpon you, or, We blesse you in the Name of the Lord.
