**Title. A Song of degrees.** Same as 120. See App-67 .

**Many a time.** Figure of speech *Anaphora* ( App-6 ), being repeated from [Psalms 129:1](../../../kjv/psalms/129/1) .
**Yet** = Nevertheless. Hebrew. *gam,* as in [Psalms 119:24](../../../kjv/psalms/119/24) ("also"); [Ezekiel 16:28](../../../kjv/ezekiel/16/28) . [Ecclesiastes 6:7](../../../kjv/ecclesiastes/6/7) . Not "reduplicated by mistake, and then spelled differently to make sense", as is alleged by modern criticism.

**The plowers.** No Art.

**The LORD.** Hebrew. *Jehovah.*
**righteous** = just: i.e. in His judgments.
**cords:** i.e. of bondage. Compare [Psalms 2:3](../../../kjv/psalms/2/3) .
**the wicked** = lawless ones. Hebrew. *rasha'.* App-44 .

**Zion.** See App-68 .

**as the grass** = as grass. The reference in verses: [Psalms 129:6](../../../kjv/psalms/129/6) , [Psalms 129:7](../../../kjv/psalms/129/7) is not to "Egyptian monuments", but to the reply of Jehovah concerning Sennacherib, which Hezekiah quotes here. Compare [2 Kings 19:25](../../../kjv/2-kings/19/25) , [2 Kings 19:26](../../../kjv/2-kings/19/26) . [Isaiah 37:27](../../../kjv/isaiah/37/27) .
**groweth up.** Either unsheatheth itself into flower, or is plucked up (as Septuagint and Vulgate)

**name.** See note on [Psalms 20:1](../../../kjv/psalms/20/1) .
