Psalm 129

 “Song of Victory Over Israel’s Enemies”

“Let all those who hate Zion be put to shame and turned back. Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up.” (v. 5-6)

Psalm 129 focuses on the preservation and survival of God’s people. No nation in history has experienced the persecution, the attack, or the hostility that Israel has. In spite of all the pasted persecutions, and the numerous on-going anti-Semitic efforts to extinguish the Jews, they remain.

Israel’s enemies will never have the last word—God Almighty will. And one day He shall return to establish His kingdom in the New Jerusalem to rule and reign for 1000 years (Revelation 20:6).

The Truth: ‘But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.” (Psalm 37:20)
