←Prev   Psalms 129 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



129:1  (Shir HaMa’alot) Many a time have they afflicted me from my ne’ur, may Yisroel now say;
129:2  Many a time have they afflicted me from my ne’ur (youth); yet they have not prevailed against me.
129:3  The choreshim (plowers) plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.
129:4  Hashem is tzaddik; He hath cut asunder the cords of the resha’im.
129:5  Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Tziyon [i.e, all anti-Semites].
129:6  Let them be as the khatzir (grass) upon the housetops, which withereth before it groweth up;
129:7  With it the kotzer (reaper) filleth not his yad; nor he that gathereth sheaves, his bosom.
129:8  Neither do they which go by say, Birkat Hashem be upon you; we bless you b’Shem Hashem.
