Psalms 129

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

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. Often they distressed me from my youth, Pray, let Israel say:

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

Often they distressed me from my youth, Yet they have not prevailed over me.

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

Plowers have plowed over my back, They have made their furrows long.

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

YHWH [is] righteous, He has cut apart cords of the wicked.

5 May they be ashamed and they may be turned back backward all [those who] hate Zion.

All hating Zion [are] confounded and turn backward.

6 May they be like [the] grass of roofs that before it has shot up it has withered.

They are as grass of the roofs, That withers before it was drawn out,

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

That has not filled the hand of a reaper, And the bosom of a binder of sheaves.

8 And not they say - those [who] pass by [the] blessing of Yahweh [be] to you we bless you in [the] name of Yahweh.

And the passers by have not said, “The blessing of YHWH [is] on you, We blessed you in the Name of YHWH!”
