| Chapter 128 |
1 | Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say. |
2 | Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me. |
3 | The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity. |
4 | The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners: |
5 | let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion. |
6 | Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up: |
7 | Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom. |
8 | And they that have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord. |
