Psalms 129

KING JAMES BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:	1 A Canticle in steps. From the depths, I have cried out to you, O Lord.
2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.	2 O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.
3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.	3 If you, O Lord, were to heed iniquities, who, O Lord, could persevere?
4 The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.	4 For with you, there is forgiveness, and because of your law, I persevered with you, Lord. My soul has persevered in his word.
5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.	5 My soul has hoped in the Lord.
6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:	6 From the morning watch, even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.
7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.	7 For with the Lord there is mercy, and with him there is bountiful redemption.
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.	8 And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
