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. |
