129:1 A Song of Ascents. Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say,
129:2 many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.
129:3 The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.
129:4 Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
129:5 Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.
129:6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up;
129:7 with which the reaper doesnt fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.
129:8 Neither do those who go by say, The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in the name of Yahweh.
