[00:00:04] Psalm 129 A Song of Ascents Many times they have persecuted me, or Israel, from my youth. Let Israel now say, Many times they have persecuted me from my youth, yet they have not prevailed against me. The enemies, like plowers, plowed on my back. They made their furrows of suffering long in Israel.
[00:00:32] The Lord is righteous. He has cut into the thick cords of the wicked, which enslaved the people of Israel. May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward in defeat. Let them be like the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,
[00:00:57] with which the reaper does not fill his hand, nor the binder of sheaves his arms. Nor do those who pass by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you. We bless you in the name of the Lord. Thank you for tuning in to the The Audio Bible today. This has been Psalm 129 from the Word of God.
