Psalms 129

1 song [the] step many to vex me from youth my to say please Israel

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Many enemies have attacked from the time I was young. Let everyone in Israel say:

2 many to vex me from youth my also not be able to/for me

Many enemies have attacked from the time I was young, but they never defeated me.

3 upon back/rim/brow my to plow/plot to plow/plot to prolong (to/for furrow their *QK)

They beat me on my back, leaving long furrows as if it had been ploughed by a farmer.

4 LORD righteous to cut cord wicked

But the Lord does what is right: he has cut me free from the ropes of the wicked.

5 be ashamed and to turn back all to hate Zion

May everyone who hates Zion be driven back in humiliating defeat.

6 to be like/as grass roof which/that former to draw to wither

May they be like grass that grows on a roof that withers before it can be harvested,

7 which/that not to fill palm his to reap and bosom his to bind

There's not enough even for a reaper to hold, not enough even for the binder to bind.

8 and not to say [the] to pass blessing LORD to(wards) you to bless [obj] you in/on/with name LORD

May passers-by not say to them, “The blessing of the Lord be on you; we bless you in the name of the Lord.”
