תהילים 129

1 שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת רַבַּת צְרָרוּנִי מִנְּעוּרַי יֹֽאמַר־נָא יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

A Song of degrees. 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 יְהוָה צַדִּיק קִצֵּץ עֲבוֹת רְשָׁעִֽים׃

The LORD [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 אָֽמְרוּ ׀ הָעֹבְרִים בִּרְכַּֽת־יְהוָה אֲלֵיכֶם בֵּרַכְנוּ אֶתְכֶם בְּשֵׁם יְהוָֽה׃

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