תהילים 129

1 שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת רַבַּת צְרָרוּנִי מִנְּעוּרַי יֹאמַר־נָא יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

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

2 רַבַּת צְרָרוּנִי מִנְּעוּרָי גַּם לֹא־יָכְלוּ לִֽי׃

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

3 עַל־גַּבִּי חָרְשׁוּ חֹרְשִׁים הֶאֱרִיכוּ (למענותם) [לְמַעֲנִיתָֽם]׃

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

4 יְהֹוָה צַדִּיק קִצֵּץ עֲבוֹת רְשָׁעִֽים׃

Yhwh is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

5 יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִסֹּגוּ אָחוֹר כֹּל שֹׂנְאֵי צִיּֽוֹן׃

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

6 יִהְיוּ כַּחֲצִיר גַּגּוֹת שֶׁקַּדְמַת שָׁלַף יָבֵֽשׁ׃

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

7 שֶׁלֹּא מִלֵּא כַפּוֹ קוֹצֵר וְחִצְנוֹ מְעַמֵּֽר׃

Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

8 וְלֹא אָמְרוּ ׀ הָעֹבְרִים בִּרְכַּֽת־יְהֹוָה אֲלֵיכֶם בֵּרַכְנוּ אֶתְכֶם בְּשֵׁם יְהֹוָֽה׃

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