Psalms 129 Commentary

God remains faithful even through continual affliction.

God protects the faithful, so they will not be overcome by persecution.

Psalm 129:3 emphasizes deep, ongoing affliction that ultimately highlights the psalmist’s trust in God’s deliverance.

God’s righteousness guarantees freedom from wicked oppression.

God will always protect His own, causing those who hate His people to face shame.

God inevitably frustrates the plans of evildoers who resist His truth.

This verse reiterates that those who oppose the people of the LORD will ultimately lack a fruitful reward.

God’s people will find blessing and honor in the Lord.
