Psalm Ps. 129. This psalm reflects on what God’s people have endured and how God has sustained them. As a Song of Ascents, it reminds the pilgrims never to take their privileges for granted.
Ps. 129:1–4 God’s people as a whole (me) speak, recalling that Israel has long endured (from my youth) people who have afflicted them, and yet they have not prevailed against Israel. The Lord is righteous. That is, true to his promises.
Ps. 129:5–8 The second section prays that such enemies will fail in their purposes (v. 5; see note on 25:2–3).
