< Psalms 129 >
1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Many enemies have attacked from the time I was young. Let everyone in Israel say:
[the] song of The ascents much people have opposed me since youth my let it say please Israel.
2 Many enemies have attacked from the time I was young, but they never defeated me.
Much people have opposed me since youth my also not they have prevailed to me.
3 They beat me on my back, leaving long furrows as if it had been ploughed by a farmer.
On back my they have plowed plowmen they have made long (furrows their. *Q(K)*)
4 But the Lord does what is right: he has cut me free from the ropes of the wicked.
Yahweh [is] righteous he has cut off [the] rope of wicked [people].
5 May everyone who hates Zion be driven back in humiliating defeat.
May they be ashamed and they may be turned back backward all [those who] hate Zion.
6 May they be like grass that grows on a roof that withers before it can be harvested,
May they be like [the] grass of roofs that before it has shot up it has withered.
7 There's not enough even for a reaper to hold, not enough even for the binder to bind.
That not he has filled hand his a reaper and bosom his [one who] binds sheaves.
8 May passers-by not say to them, “The blessing of the Lord be on you; we bless 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.
