The LORDis righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
Psalm 129 belongs to the Psalms of Degrees, which were chanted while worshipers climbed the fifteen steps leading to the inner court of the Temple. The Lord is righteous, and he has cut asunder the cords of the wicked. That cutting breaks the bonds by which the wicked held people captive. It breaks the power and the hold by which the wicked kept people, his people, in bondage.
