Psalms 129

1 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

ᾠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν πλεονάκις ἐπολέμησάν με ἐκ νεότητός μου εἰπάτω δὴ Ισραηλ

2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

πλεονάκις ἐπολέμησάν με ἐκ νεότητός μου καὶ γὰρ οὐκ ἠδυνήθησάν μοι

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

ἐπὶ τοῦ νώτου μου ἐτέκταινον οἱ ἁμαρτωλοί ἐμάκρυναν τὴν ἀνομίαν αὐτῶν

4 The LORD is righteous: he has cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

κύριος δίκαιος συνέκοψεν αὐχένας ἁμαρτωλῶν

5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

αἰσχυνθήτωσαν καὶ ἀποστραφήτωσαν εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω πάντες οἱ μισοῦντες Σιων

6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withers before it grows up:

γενηθήτωσαν ὡς χόρτος δωμάτων ὃς πρὸ τοῦ ἐκσπασθῆναι ἐξηράνθη

7 Wherewith the mower fills not his hand; nor he that binds sheaves his bosom.

οὗ οὐκ ἐπλήρωσεν τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ὁ θερίζων καὶ τὸν κόλπον αὐτοῦ ὁ τὰ δράγματα συλλέγων

8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.

καὶ οὐκ εἶπαν οἱ παράγοντες εὐλογία κυρίου ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς εὐλογήκαμεν ὑμᾶς ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου
