Prayer for the Overthrow of Zions Enemies.
A Song of Ascents.
1Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up,
Let Israel now say,
2Many times they have persecuted me from my youth up;
Yet they have not prevailed against me.
3The plowers plowed upon my back;
They lengthened their furrows.
4The L
ORD is righteous;
He has cut in two the cords of the wicked.
5May all who hate Zion
Be put to shame and turned backward;
6Let them be like grass upon the housetops,
Which withers before it grows up;
7With which the reaper does not fill his hand,
Or the binder of sheaves his bosom;
8Nor do those who pass by say,
The blessing of the L
ORD be upon you;
We bless you in the name of the L
ORD.
<< Psalm 129 >>
