PS 129 The people of God commemorate their deliverance out of sore afflictions, ver. 1-4. The destruction of their enemies, ver. 5- 8. A song of degrees.

1. From my youth - From the time that I was a people.

4. Righteous - Faithful or merciful. The cords - Wherewith the plow was drawn. By these cords he understands all their plots and endeavours.

6. House-tops - Which there were flat. Which - Having no deep root, never comes to maturity. And so all their designs shall be abortive.
