Psalm 128 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷

1 A gradual Canticle. Often have they impugned me from my youth, let Israel now say:

2 Often have they impugned me from my youth: but they have not prevailed against me.

3 Sinners have builded upon my back: they have prolonged their iniquity.

4 Our just Lord will cut the necks of sinners:

5 let them all be confounded and turned backward, that hate Sion.

6 Let them be made as grass in the tops of houses: which is withered before it be plucked up.

7 Whereof the reaper hath not filled his hand, and he that gathereth the sheaves his bosom.

8 And they said not that passed by: The blessing of our Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of our Lord.
