Psalms 129 Bible Study Guide

Psalm 129 is a Song of Ascents that recounts Israel's history of suffering and deliverance. The psalm declares that while enemies have greatly afflicted Israel from their youth, they have not prevailed against them. The wicked are compared to grass on the housetop that withers before it grows. The psalm ends with a blessing — that those who hate Zion would be put to shame and that no one would bless them.
