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. “Often since my youth they have attacked me,” let Israel say.

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

“Often since my youth they have attacked me, yet they have not defeated 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].

Yahweh is righteous; he has cut the ropes of the wicked.”

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

May they all be put to shame and turned back, those who hate Zion.

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

May they be like the grass on the housetops that withers before it grows up,

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

that cannot fill the reaper's hand or the chest of the one who binds bundles of grain together.

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

May those who pass by not say, “May the blessing of Yahweh be on you; we bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
