Book of Psalms
PSALM CXXIX.
George Burgess
Oh, many a time from earliest youth,
Oh, many a time, may Israel say,
The foes of God assail'd my truth.
But ne'er o'ercame th' encircled prey.
Hard on my back the ploughers plough'd,
And deep their furrows red they drew;
But God the just subdued the proud,
And far their sunder'd fetters threw.
Let Sion's foes turn back afraid,
And fade as grass that clasps the eaves;
No mower crops its with'ring blade,
No reaper binds it to his sheaves.
No passing strangers linger near,
Or o'er the gath'rers' toil exclaim,
'The blessing of the Lord be here!
We wish you blessing in his name!'
