Ps. 129: Ascent of Oppression

Psalm 129:4 "But the LORD is righteous; he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked."

Israel has been persecuted and under siege since its inception. The Psalmist recognizes here in the 129th Psalm that it is only God who can protect and really, truly free Israel from this pain. This is to say that Israel will not be able to do it herself.

It's a curse that those who wish to take shots at Israel and steal or rob it won't be able to come up with anything. It would profit them little.

I suppose is verse 8, it talks about fake people, who would just pass by and say, "Bless you," without really meaning it.
