←Prev   Psalms 129 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



129:1  A Song of Ascents. “How many times they have been hostile to me, even from my youth”—let Israel now say—
129:2  “How greatly they have been hostile to me, even from my youth. Yet they have not prevailed against me.
129:3  Plowmen plowed on my back— they made their furrows long!”
129:4  Adonai is righteous— He has cut the ropes of the wicked.
129:5  May all who hate Zion be driven back in disgrace.
129:6  Let them be like grass on the roofs, which withers before it springs up—
129:7  with it a reaper cannot fill his hand, nor can a binder of sheaves fill his lap.
129:8  So the passersby may never say: “The blessing of Adonai be upon you— we bless you in the Name of Adonai.”
