Many Times They Have Afflicted Me
{A Song of degrees.} Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
{A Song of degrees.} Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
Psalm 129
A song of ascents.
“They have greatly oppressed me from my youth,”
let Israel say;
A song of ascents.
“They have greatly oppressed me from my youth,”
let Israel say;
Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
“they have greatly oppressed me from my youth,
but they have not gained the victory over me.
but they have not gained the victory over me.
The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
Plowmen have plowed my back
and made their furrows long.
and made their furrows long.
The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
But the Lord is righteous;
he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.”
he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.”
Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
May all who hate Zion
be turned back in shame.
be turned back in shame.
Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
May they be like grass on the roof,
which withers before it can grow;
which withers before it can grow;
Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
a reaper cannot fill his hands with it,
nor one who gathers fill his arms.
nor one who gathers fill his arms.
