< תהילים 129 >

שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת רַבַּת צְרָרוּנִי מִנְּעוּרַי יֹאמַר־נָא יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ 1
A Song of Degrees. Many a time have they warred against me from my youth, let Israel now say:
רַבַּת צְרָרוּנִי מִנְּעוּרָי גַּם לֹא־יָכְלוּ לִֽי׃ 2
Many a time have they warred against me from my youth: and yet they prevailed not against me.
עַל־גַּבִּי חָרְשׁוּ חֹרְשִׁים הֶאֱרִיכוּ (למענותם) [לְמַעֲנִיתָֽם]׃ 3
The sinners wrought upon my back: they prolonged their iniquity.
יְהֹוָה צַדִּיק קִצֵּץ עֲבוֹת רְשָׁעִֽים׃ 4
The righteous Lord has cut asunder the necks of sinners.
יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִסֹּגוּ אָחוֹר כֹּל שֹׂנְאֵי צִיּֽוֹן׃ 5
Let all that hate Sion be put to shame and turned back.
יִהְיוּ כַּחֲצִיר גַּגּוֹת שֶׁקַּדְמַת שָׁלַף יָבֵֽשׁ׃ 6
Let them be as the grass of the housetops, which withers before it is plucked up.
שֶׁלֹּא מִלֵּא כַפּוֹ קוֹצֵר וְחִצְנוֹ מְעַמֵּֽר׃ 7
Wherewith the reaper fills not his hand, nor he that makes up the sheaves, his bosom.
וְלֹא אָמְרוּ ׀ הָעֹבְרִים בִּרְכַּֽת־יְהֹוָה אֲלֵיכֶם בֵּרַכְנוּ אֶתְכֶם בְּשֵׁם יְהֹוָֽה׃ 8
Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
