﻿Psalm.
Chapter 129.
Let Israel now say, “They have oppressed me greatly from my youth. 
They have oppressed me greatly from my youth, but they have not prevailed against me. 
The plowmen plowed on my back; they made their furrow long. 
The LORD is righteous; he has cut the cords of the wicked.” 
May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned back. 
May they be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it is pulled up, 
with which the reaper cannot fill his hand, nor the binder of sheaves his arms. 
Nor do those who pass by say, “The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.”
