PSALMS 129
Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me. The plowers plowed upon my hack, they made long their furrows. The Lord is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords o f the wicked. Let them all he confounded and turned hack that hate Zion. Let them he as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up: wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that hindeth sheaves his bosom. Neither do they which go by say, the blessings of the Lord he upon you: we bless you in the name o f the Lord.
** ACKNOWLEDGEMENT **
The family wishes to acknowledge with thanks the many expressions of kindness shown them during their hour of bereavement.
