Psalms 129

1 [the] song of The ascents much people have opposed me since youth my let it say please Israel.

A Song of Ascents. 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up', let Israel now say;

2 Much people have opposed me since youth my also not they have prevailed to me.

'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up; but they have not prevailed against me.

3 On back my they have plowed plowmen they have made long (furrows their. *QK)

The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.

4 Yahweh [is] righteous he has cut off [the] rope of wicked [people].

The LORD is righteous; He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.'

5 May they be ashamed and they may be turned back backward all [those who] hate Zion.

Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all they that hate Zion.

6 May they be like [the] grass of roofs that before it has shot up it has withered.

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it springeth up;

7 That not he has filled hand his a reaper and bosom his [one who] binds sheaves.

Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

8 And not they say - those [who] pass by [the] blessing of Yahweh [be] to you we bless you in [the] name of Yahweh.

Neither do they that go by say: 'The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.'
