Psalm 129:3-8

Listen to Psalm 129:3-8
3 Die Pflüger haben auf meinen Rücken geackert und ihre Furchen lang gezogen.
4 Der HERR, der gerecht ist, hat der Gottlosen Seile abgehauen.
5 Ach daß müßten zu Schanden werden und zurückkehren alle, die Zion gram sind!
6 Ach daß sie müßten sein wie das Gras auf den Dächern, welches verdorrt, ehe man es ausrauft,
7 von welchem der Schnitter seine Hand nicht füllt noch der Garbenbinder seinen Arm
8 und die vorübergehen nicht sprechen: "Der Segen des HERRN sei über euch! wir segnen euch im Namen des HERRN"!

Psalm 129:3-8 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 129

\\<>\\. This psalm was written in later times, after many of the distresses of Israel; very probably upon the Jews return from the Babylonish captivity, by Ezra, or some other godly person. Aben Ezra says the psalmist speaks in the language of Israel in captivity; and the same is the sense of Kimchi and Arama. The Syriac inscription is, ``a psalm without a name, concerning the distress of the people; but as to us, it intimates to us the victory and triumph of the worshippers.''
