תהילים 129

1 שִׁיר הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת רַבַּת צְרָרוּנִי מִנְּעוּרַי יֹֽאמַר־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׃

Plowers have plowed over my back, They have made their furrows long.

4 יְהוָה צַדִּיק קִצֵּץ עֲבוֹת רְשָׁעִֽים׃

YHWH [is] righteous, He has cut apart cords of the wicked.

5 יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִסֹּגוּ אָחוֹר כֹּל שֹׂנְאֵי צִיּֽוֹן׃

All hating Zion [are] confounded and turn backward.

6 יִהְיוּ כַּחֲצִיר גַּגּוֹת שֶׁקַּדְמַת שָׁלַף יָבֵֽשׁ׃

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

7 שֶׁלֹּא מִלֵּא כַפּוֹ קוֹצֵר וְחִצְנוֹ מְעַמֵּֽר׃

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

8 וְלֹא אָֽמְרוּ ׀ הָעֹבְרִים בִּרְכַּֽת־יְהוָה אֲלֵיכֶם בֵּרַכְנוּ אֶתְכֶם בְּשֵׁם יְהוָֽה׃

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