Ps 129:1
129:1 <> Many a time have they afflicted me
      from my youth, may {a} Israel now say:

      (a) The Church now afflicted should remember how her
          condition has always been such from the beginning to
          be molested most grievously by the wicked, yet in time
          it has always been delivered.

Ps 129:4
129:4 The LORD [is] {b} righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords
      of the wicked.

      (b) Because God is righteous, he cannot but plague his
          adversary, and deliver his as oxen out of the plough.

Ps 129:6
129:6 {c} Let them be as the grass [upon] the housetops, which
      withereth afore it groweth up:

      (c) The enemies who lift themselves high, and as it were
          approach the Sun, are consumed with the heat of God's
          wrath, because they are not grounded in godly
          humility.

Ps 129:8
129:8 {d} Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the
      LORD [be] upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.

      (d) That is, the wicked will perish, and none will pass
          for them.
