Psalms 129

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

[A Song of Ascents.] Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say,

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

many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, 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 on my back. They made their furrows long.

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

Jehovah is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.

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

Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who 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 on the housetops, which withers before it grows up;

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

with which the reaper doesn't fill his hand, nor he who binds 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 those who go by say, "The blessing of Jehovah be on you. We bless you in the name of Jehovah."
