Psalms 128
-
1 A gradual canticle. 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 upon the tops of houses: which withereth before it be plucked up:
-
7 Who with the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.
-
8 And they that passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
