| Chapter 129 |
1 | Many times have they afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say,
|
2 | Many times have they afflicted me from my youth up, Yet they have not prevailed against me.
|
3 | The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.
|
4 | Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
|
5 | Let them be put to shame and turned backward, All those who hate Zion.
|
6 | Let them be as the grass on the housetops, Which withers before it grows up;
|
7 | With which the reaper doesn't fill his hand, Nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.
|
8 | Neither do those who go by say, 'The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in the name of Yahweh.' Psalm 130 A Song of Ascents.
