“Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up,” Let Israel now say,
PSALMS (129 :1)

1. “Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up,” Let Israel now say, PSALMS (1:129)

2.

“Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up; Yet they have not prevailed against me.

3.

-“The plowers plowed upon my back; They lengthened their furrows.”

4.

The LORD is righteous; He has cut in two the cords of the wicked.

5.

May all who hate Zion Be put to shame and turned backward;

6.

Let them be like grass upon the housetops, Which withers before it grows up;

7.

With which the reaper does not fill his hand, Or the binder of sheaves his bosom;

8.

Nor do those who pass by say, “The blessing of the LORD be upon you; We bless you in the name of the LORD.”
