Psalms 129: Israel Oppressed but Never Overcome

In this song of ascents, Israel recalls enemies who have attacked it cruelly since its earliest days, yet never defeated it. The righteous LORD has freed His people, and the psalm asks that Zion's enemies be shamed and wither like shallow-rooted grass that yields no harvest.
