Psalms - 129:8 Meaning

“Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

129:5-8 While God's people shall flourish as the loaded palm-tree, or the green and fruitful olive, their enemies shall wither as the grass upon the house-tops, which in eastern countries are flat, and what grows there never ripens; so it is with the designs of God's enemies. No wise man will pray the Lord to bless these mowers or reapers. And when we remember how Jesus arose and reigns; how his people have been supported, like the burning but unconsumed bush, we shall not fear.

“And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.”
