תהילים 129

1 שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת רַבַּת צְרָרוּנִי מִנְּעוּרַי יֹאמַר־נָא יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

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

2 רַבַּת צְרָרוּנִי מִנְּעוּרָי גַּם לֹא־יָכְלוּ לִֽי׃

many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.

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

The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.

4 יְהֹוָה צַדִּיק קִצֵּץ עֲבוֹת רְשָׁעִֽים׃

The LORD is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.

5 יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִסֹּגוּ אָחוֹר כֹּל שֹׂנְאֵי צִיּֽוֹן׃

Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.

6 יִהְיוּ כַּחֲצִיר גַּגּוֹת שֶׁקַּדְמַת שָׁלַף יָבֵֽשׁ׃

Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up;

7 שֶׁלֹּא מִלֵּא כַפּוֹ קוֹצֵר וְחִצְנוֹ מְעַמֵּֽר׃

with which the reaper doesn't fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

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

Neither do those who go by say, "The blessing of the LORD be on you. We bless you in the name of the LORD."
