Psalm 129

1.	1 "Time and again they greatly did oppress me from my youth up," let Israel declare; 2 "Time and again they greatly did oppress me from my youth up, yet they did not prevail."
2.	3 Upon my back, like plowmen plowing furrows, so did they make their gouges deep and long. 4 Yet is Jehovah righteous in his dealings; the ropes of lawless men he cuts apart.
3.	5 Let them be shamed and fall back in confusion, all those who bear for Zion bitter hate. 6 Let them become like grass upon the housetops which withers up before it can be pulled.
4.	7 From such the reaper cannot get one handfull, nor can the one who binds fill up his arms. 8 None passing say, "Jehovah's blessing on you! We give you blessing in Jehovah's name!" Tune:  Old 110th, 11.10.11.10
