Psalm 129 is a Psalm of great comfort to the church of Christ. Amidst turmoil, God promises that the enemies of Zion a will be put to shame and turned backward. b God promises that His glorious church ever shall prevail. As Calvin so perfectly summarized the purpose for the church’s suffering:
…that God subjects his Church to divers troubles and affections, to the end he may the better prove himself her deliverer and defender. c
