A Song of Ascents.A Song of Ascents.

Psalm 129:1-8 ESV
[1] “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth”— let Israel now say— [2] “Greatly have they afflicted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me. [3] The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.” [4] The Lord is righteous; he has cut the cords of the wicked. [5] May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward! [6] Let them be like the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up, [7] with which the reaper does not fill his hand nor the binder of sheaves his arms, [8] nor do those who pass by say, “The blessing of the Lord be upon you! We bless you in the name of the Lord!”
