“Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
129:5-8 While God's people shall flourish as the loaded palm-tree, or the green and fruitful olive, their enemies shall wither as the grass upon the house-tops, which in eastern countries are flat, and what grows there never ripens; so it is with the designs of God's enemies. No wise man will pray the Lord to bless these mowers or reapers. And when we remember how Jesus arose and reigns; how his people have been supported, like the burning but unconsumed bush, we shall not fear.
“But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.”
