Psalms 129

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

YHWH 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 all be confounded and turned back 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 groweth up:

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

Wherewith the mower 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 which go by say, The blessing of YHWH be upon you: we bless you in the name of YHWH.
