The Psalms

capitolul 129


Capitole:


versetul 1

A Song of Ascents. Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say:


versetul 2

many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.


versetul 3

The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.


versetul 4

Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.


versetul 5

Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.


versetul 6

Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,


versetul 7

with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.


versetul 8

Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in Yahweh’s name.”
