| 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. --
