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
PSALM 129
1 The song of degrees. Israel say now; Oft they have fought against me from my youth.
2Oft they [have] fought against me from my youth; and soothly they might not to me
3Sinners forged on my back; they made long their wickedness.
4The Lord is just [or rightwise], he shall beat the nolls of sinners;
5all that hate Zion be they shamed, and turned aback.
6Be they made as the hay of housetops; that dried up, before that it be drawn up.
7Of which hay he that shall reap, shall not fill his hand; and he that shall gather handfuls, shall not fill his bosom.
8And they that passed forth said not, The blessing of the Lord be on you; we blessed you in the name of the Lord.
