Psalms 129

NEW JERUSALEM	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 [Song of Ascents] Often as men have attacked me since I was young -- let Israel repeat it-	1 שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלֹות רַבַּת צְרָרוּנִי מִנְּעוּרַי יֹאמַר־נָא יִשְׂרָאֵל
2 often as men have attacked me since I was young, they have never overcome me.	2 רַבַּת צְרָרוּנִי מִנְּעוּרָי גַּם לֹא־יָכְלוּ לִי
3 On my back ploughmen have set to work, making long furrows,	3 עַל־גַּבִּי חָרְשׁוּ חֹרְשִׁים הֶאֱרִיכוּ [לְמַעֲנֹותָם כ] (לְמַעֲנִיתָם׃ ק)
4 but Yahweh the upright has shattered the yoke of the wicked.	4 יְהוָה צַדִּיק קִצֵּץ עֲבֹות רְשָׁעִים
5 Let al who hate Zion be thrown back in confusion,	5 יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִסֹּגוּ אָחֹור כֹּל שֹׂנְאֵי צִיֹּון
6 let them be like grass on a roof, dried up before it is cut,	6 יִהְיוּ כַּחֲצִיר גַּגֹּות שֶׁקַּדְמַת שָׁלַף יָבֵשׁ
7 never to fil the reaper's arm nor the binder's lap.	7 שֶׁלֹּא מִלֵּא כַפֹּו קֹוצֵר וְחִצְנֹו מְעַמֵּר
8 And no passer-by wil say, 'The blessing of Yahweh be on you! 'We bless you in the name ofYahweh.'	8 וְלֹא אָמְרוּ ׀ הָעֹבְרִים בִּרְכַּת־יְהוָה אֲלֵיכֶם בֵּרַכְנוּ אֶתְכֶם בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה
