Psalms 129

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 A Canticle in steps. From the depths, I have cried out to you, O Lord.	1 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
2 O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.	2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 If you, O Lord, were to heed iniquities, who, O Lord, could persevere?	3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
4 For with you, there is forgiveness, and because of your law, I persevered with you, Lord. My soul has persevered in his word.	4 The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
5 My soul has hoped in the Lord.	5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
6 From the morning watch, even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.	6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
7 For with the Lord there is mercy, and with him there is bountiful redemption.	7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
8 And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.	8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
