Commentary on Psalms 129:6

Theological / Devotional

As the grass. The wind, or perchance some bird, carries a seed, and as it falls upon the flat roof of the Oriental house it springs up very quickly, but having no depth of earth, it soon withers, and thus yields no harvest (Matt. 13:5). So it is with those who scheme against Israel. Their plans at first give the appearance of success, but they do not fructify.
