Psalm 129 Israel's Woes
1. The Reality of Her Affliction -
1 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
It was Constant - 1 Many a time,
Calculated - have they afflicted me
Continual - from my youth,
Concentrated - may Israel now say:
2. The Restraint in Her Affliction - 2 many a time have they afflicted me from my youth:
yet they have not prevailed against me.
It's Consistency - 2 many a time,
It's Community - have they
It's Commodity - afflicted,
It's Coherency - me,
It's Constancy - from my youth:
It's Control - yet they have not prevailed against me.
3. The Rigour with Her Affliction -
3 The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
Their Identity - 3 The plowers,
Their Activity - plowed,
Their Acrimony - upon my back:
Their Intensity - they made long their furrows.
4. The Response to Her Affliction
Divine Affirmation - 4 The Lord is righteous:
Divine Intervention - he hath cut asunder
Divine Comprehension - the cords of the wicked.
5. The Resolve through Her Affliction -
A Prayer for Confusion - That God will shut them up - That They will be Discovered.
5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
It's Scope - 5 Let them all,
It's Scale - be confounded
It's Scorn - and turned back,
It's Score - that hate Zion.
A Prayer for Constriction - That God will shut them in - That They will be Defeated -
6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
Their Profit - 6 Let them be as the grass,
Their Place - upon the housetops, Their Poverty - which withereth
Their Paralysis - afore it groweth up: (Self Destruction)
A Prayer for Consumption - That God will shut them down - That They will be Depleted -
7 wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
Ecclesiastes 8:10 And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity.
The Sight - And so I saw the wicked buried,
The Scene - who had come and gone from the place of the holy,
The Sequel - they were forgotten in the city where they had so done
The Summary - this is also vanity.
A Prayer for Condemnation - That God will shun them - That They will be Disowned.
Publicly - 8 Neither do they which go by say,
Personally - The blessing of the Lord be upon you:
Perpetually - we bless you in the name of the Lord.
