Psalm 129 - World English Bible with Hebrew

1 Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say,

1 שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲלֹ֥ות רַ֭בַּת צְרָר֣וּנִי מִנְּעוּרַ֑י יֹֽאמַר־נָ֝א יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

2 Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, Yet they have not prevailed against me.

2 רַ֭בַּת צְרָר֣וּנִי מִנְּעוּרָ֑י גַּ֝ם לֹא־יָ֥כְלוּ לִֽי׃

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

3 עַל־גַּ֭בִּי חָרְשׁ֣וּ חֹרְשִׁ֑ים הֶ֝אֱרִ֗יכוּ לְמַעֲנֹותָם לְמַעֲנִיתָֽם׃

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

4 יְהוָ֥ה צַדִּ֑יק קִ֝צֵּ֗ץ עֲבֹ֣ות רְשָׁעִֽים׃

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

5 יֵ֭בֹשׁוּ וְיִסֹּ֣גוּ אָחֹ֑ור כֹּ֝֗ל שֹׂנְאֵ֥י צִיֹּֽון׃

6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops, Which withers before it grows up;

6 יִ֭הְיוּ כַּחֲצִ֣יר גַּגֹּ֑ות שֶׁקַּדְמַ֖ת שָׁלַ֣ף יָבֵֽשׁ׃

7 With which the reaper doesn't fill his hand, Nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

7 שֶׁלֹּ֤א מִלֵּ֖א כַפֹּ֥ו קֹוצֵ֗ר וְחִצְנֹ֥ו מְעַמֵּֽר׃

8 Neither do those who go by say, "The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in the name of Yahweh."

8 וְלֹ֤א אָֽמְר֨וּ׀ הָעֹבְרִ֗ים בִּרְכַּֽת־יְהוָ֥ה אֲלֵיכֶ֑ם בֵּרַ֥כְנוּ אֶ֝תְכֶ֗ם בְּשֵׁ֣ם יְהוָֽה׃
