תהילים 129

1 שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת רַבַּת צְרָרוּנִי מִנְּעוּרַי יֹאמַר־נָא יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

A Song of the Ascents. Often they distressed me from my youth, Pray, let Israel say:

2 רַבַּת צְרָרוּנִי מִנְּעוּרָי גַּם לֹא־יָכְלוּ לִֽי׃

Often they distressed me from my youth, Yet they have not prevailed over me.

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

Over my back have ploughers ploughed, They have made long their furrows.

4 יְהֹוָה צַדִּיק קִצֵּץ עֲבוֹת רְשָׁעִֽים׃

Jehovah [is] righteous, He hath cut asunder cords of the wicked.

5 יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִסֹּגוּ אָחוֹר כֹּל שֹׂנְאֵי צִיּֽוֹן׃

Confounded and turn backward do all hating Zion.

6 יִהְיוּ כַּחֲצִיר גַּגּוֹת שֶׁקַּדְמַת שָׁלַף יָבֵֽשׁ׃

They are as grass of the roofs, That before it was drawn out withereth,

7 שֶׁלֹּא מִלֵּא כַפּוֹ קוֹצֵר וְחִצְנוֹ מְעַמֵּֽר׃

That hath not filled the hand of a reaper, And the bosom of a binder of sheaves.

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

And the passers by have not said, 'The blessing of Jehovah [is] on you, We blessed you in the Name of Jehovah!'
