Psalm 129

Revised Version 1895

A Song of Ascents.

1ManyH7227 a time have they afflicted meH4994 from my youthH5271 up, letH4994 IsraelH3478 nowH4994 sayH559;

2ManyH7227 a time have they afflicted meH3808 from my youthH5271 upH3201: yet they have notH3808 prevailedH3201 againstH1571 meH3808.

3The plowers plowedH2790 uponH5921 my backH1354; they made longH748 their furrowsH4618.

4The LORDH3068 is righteousH6662: he hath cutH7112 asunder the cordsH5688 of the wickedH7563.

5Let them be ashamedH954 and turnedH5472 backwardH268, allH3605 they that hateH8130 ZionH6726.

6LetH1961 them be as the grassH2682 uponH1961 the housetopsH1406, whichH2682 withereth afore it groweth upH3001:

7Wherewith the reaper filleth notH3808 his handH3709, norH3808 he that bindeth sheaves his bosomH2683.

8NeitherH3808 do they which goH5674 by sayH559, The blessingH1293 of the LORDH3068 be uponH413 youH1288; we blessH1288 youH1288 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
