Not Defeated
Read the Story
Psalm 129 is titled A Song of Ascents. Israel says, Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.
The singer uses a farming picture to show how hard the troubles were. But Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
The singer asks that those who hate Zion be like grass on a rooftop. That grass dries up before it can grow. No one gathers it, and no one blesses it.
