Sæpe expugnaverunt me a juventute mea, dicat nunc Israël; sæpe
expugnaverunt me a juventute mea: etenim non potuerunt mihi. Supra dorsum
meum fabricaverunt
peccatores; prolongaverunt iniquitatem suam. Dominus
justus concidit cervices peccatorum.
Often have they fought against me from my
youth. Let Israel now say: Often have the fought against me from my youth. Yet
they have not prevailed against me. They have long oppressed me with their
iniquities. But the Lord of justice will break the neck of sinners. (Psalm
129:1-4)
