Psalms 129

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways.	1 [Song of Ascents] Often as men have attacked me since I was young -- let Israel repeat it-
2 For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.	2 often as men have attacked me since I was young, they have never overcome me.
3 Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house.	3 On my back ploughmen have set to work, making long furrows,
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.	4 but Yahweh the upright has shattered the yoke of the wicked.
5 May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.	5 Let al who hate Zion be thrown back in confusion,
6 And mayest thou see thy children's children, peace upon Israel.	6 let them be like grass on a roof, dried up before it is cut,
	7 never to fil the reaper's arm nor the binder's lap.
	8 And no passer-by wil say, 'The blessing of Yahweh be on you! 'We bless you in the name ofYahweh.'
