The Book of Psalms

Psalm 128

Saepe expugnaverunt.

The church of God is invincible : her persecutors come to nothing.


1
A gradual canticle. Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.

2
Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.

3
The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.

4
The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:

5
Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.

6
Let them be as grass upon the tops of houses: which withereth before it be plucked up:

7
Who with the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.

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