Psalms 129

KING JAMES BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:	1 Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways.
2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.	2 For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.
3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.	3 Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house.
4 The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.	4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.
5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.	5 May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:	6 And mayest thou see thy children's children, peace upon Israel.
7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
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.
