< Psalms 129 >

1 A Song of Degrees. Many a time have they warred against me from my youth, let Israel now say:
[the] song of The ascents much people have opposed me since youth my let it say please Israel.
2 Many a time have they warred against me from my youth: and yet they prevailed not against me.
Much people have opposed me since youth my also not they have prevailed to me.
3 The sinners wrought upon my back: they prolonged their iniquity.
On back my they have plowed plowmen they have made long (furrows their. *Q(K)*)
4 The righteous Lord has cut asunder the necks of sinners.
Yahweh [is] righteous he has cut off [the] rope of wicked [people].
5 Let all that hate Sion be put to shame and turned back.
May they be ashamed and they may be turned back backward all [those who] hate Zion.
6 Let them be as the grass of the house-tops, which withers before it is plucked up.
May they be like [the] grass of roofs that before it has shot up it has withered.
7 Wherewith the reaper fills not his hand, nor he that makes up the sheaves, his bosom.
That not he has filled hand his a reaper and bosom his [one who] binds sheaves.
8 Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
And not they say - those [who] pass by [the] blessing of Yahweh [be] to you we bless you in [the] name of Yahweh.
