Psalms 128

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	Peshitta
1 A Canticle in steps. They have often fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say:	1 ܛܘܒܘܗܝ ܠܟܠ ܕܕܚܠ ܡܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܡܗܠܟ ܒܫܒ̈ܝܠܘܗܝ
2 they have often fought against me from my youth, yet they could not prevail over me.	2 ܥܡܠܐ ܕܐ̈ܝܕܝܟ ܟܕ ܬܐܟܘܠ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܛܘܒܝܟ ܘܛܒܬܐ ܠܢܦܫܟ
3 The sinners have made fabrications behind my back. They have prolonged their iniquity.	3 ܐܢܬܬܟ ܐܝܟ ܓܦܬܐ ܫܒܝܚܬܐ ܒܫ̈ܦܘܠܝ ܒܝܬܟ ܒܢ̈ܝܟ ܐܝܟ ܢܨܒܬܐ ܕܙܝܬܐ ܟܪܝܟܝܢ ܠܦܬܘܪܟ
4 The just Lord will cut the necks of sinners.	4 ܗܟܢ ܢܬܒܪܟ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܕܚܠ ܡܢ ܡܪܝܐ
5 Let all those who hate Zion be confounded and turned backwards.	5 ܢܒܪܟܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܢ ܨܗܝܘܢ ܘܬܚܙܐ ܒܛܒ̈ܬܗ̇ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܟܠ ܝܘܡ̈ܝ ܚܝܝ̈ܟ
6 Let them be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can be pulled up:	6 ܘܬܚܙܐ ܒܢ̈ܝܐ ܠܒܢܝ̈ܟ ܫܠܡܐ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ
7 with it, he who reaps does not fill his hand and he who gathers sheaves does not fill his bosom.
8 And those who were passing by have not said to them: “The blessing of the Lord be upon you. We have blessed you in the name of the Lord.”
