Psalms 129

Psalm 129
A song for going up to worship.
1“From the time I was young, people have attacked me …”
(Israel should repeat this.)
2“From the time I was young, people have attacked me,
but they have never overpowered me.
3They have plowed my back ⌞like farmers plow fields⌟.
They made long slashes ⌞like furrows⌟.”
4The Lord is righteous.
He has cut me loose
from the ropes that wicked people tied around me.
5Put to shame all those who hate Zion.
Force them to retreat.
6Make them be like grass on a roof,
like grass that dries up before it produces a stalk.
7It will never fill the barns of those who harvest
or the arms of those who gather bundles.
8Those who pass by will never say ⌞to them⌟,
“May you be blessed by the Lord”
or “We bless you in the name of the Lord.”

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