(Psalm 129. Chant: Ivor Atkins. The complete psalms from the same service are at http://youtu.be/vPqQi-b1pc8, while the anthem is at http://youtu.be/IQuRG8LbeRg)

1 Many a time have they fought against me from my | youth | up : may | Is-rael | now | say;
2 Yea, many a time have they vexed me from my | youth | up : but they have | not pre- | vailed a- | gainst me.
3 The plowers plowed up- | on my | back : and | made | long | furrows.
4 But the | right-eous | Lord : hath hewn the | snares of . the un- | godly . in | pieces.
5 Let them be confounded and | turned | backward : as many as have | evil | will at | Sion.
6 Let them be even as the grass growing up- | on the | house-tops : which withereth a- | fore . it be | plucked | up;
7 Whereof the mower | filleth . not his | hand : neither he that | bindeth . up the | sheaves his | bosom.
8 So that they who go by say not so much as, The | Lord | prosper you : we wish you good | luck . in the | Name . of the | Lord.
