Tehillim (Psa) 129

1 A song of ascents:

Since I was young they have often attacked me —

let Isra’el repeat it —

2 since I was young they have often attacked me,

but they haven’t overcome me.

3 The plowmen plowed on my back;

wounding me with long furrows.

4 ButAdonaiis righteous;

he cuts me free from the yoke of the wicked.

5 Let all who hate Tziyon

be thrown back in confusion.

6 Let them be like grass on the roof,

which dries out before it grows up

7 and never fills the reaper’s hands

or the arms of the one who binds sheaves,

8 so that no passer-by says,

“Adonai’s blessing on you!

We bless you in the name ofAdonai!”
