# Psalm 129 (New King James Version)
Song of Victory over Zion's Enemies

##### Chapter 129
###### 1 "Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth,"  
Let Israel now say--  

###### 2 "Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth;  
Yet they have not prevailed against me.  

###### 3 The plowers plowed on my back;  
They made their furrows long."  

###### 4 The Lord _is_ righteous;  
He has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked.

###### 5 Let all those who hate Zion  
Be put to shame and turned back.  

###### 6 Let them be as the grass _on_ the housetops,  
Which withers before it grows up,  

###### 7 With which the reaper does not fill his hand,  
Nor he who binds sheaves, his arms.  

###### 8 Neither let those who pass by them say,  
"The blessing of the Lord _be_ upon you;  
We bless you in the name of the Lord!"
