Verse 4 is found in chapter 129 of Psalms. Psalm 129 remembers the many afflictions Israel has suffered since its youth, using the agricultural image of those who plowed over the people’s back. Despite the depth of these wounds, the enemies did not prevail. The Lord is presented as righteous and capable of cutting the bonds of the wicked. The final desire that the enemies receive no blessing contrasts with the blessings pronounced upon God’s people.
