Psalms 129

Psalms 129 — John Wesley

129:1

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

129:4

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

129:6

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

129:8

The blessing - Which was an usual salutation given by passengers to reapers: so the meaning is, it never continues 'till the harvest comes.
