Psalms 129:2-8

²Oft they have fought against me from my youth; and soothly they might not to me

³Sinners forged on my back; they made long their wickedness.

⁴The Lord is just or rightwise, he shall beat the nolls of sinners;

⁵all that hate Zion be they shamed, and turned aback.

⁶Be they made as the hay of housetops; that dried up, before that it be drawn up.

⁷Of which hay he that shall reap, shall not fill his hand; and he that shall gather handfuls, shall not fill his bosom.

⁸And they that passed forth said not, The blessing of the Lord be on you; we blessed you in the name of the Lord.
