The Psalmes Of David In Meeter | ||
PSAL. CXXIX.
Oft did they vex me frō my youth
may Israel now declare:
Oft did they vex me from my youth
yet not victorious were.
The plowers plow'd upon my back,
they long their furrows drew.
The righteous Lord did cut the cords
of the ungodly crue.

The righteous Lord did cut the cords
of the ungodly crue.
Let Zions haters all be turn'd
back with confusion.
As grasse on houses tops be they,
which fades ere it be grown:
Whereof enough to fill his hand
the mower cannot finde:
Nor can the man his bosome fill,
whose work is, sheaves to binde.
