129:1 A song of ascents: Since I was young they have often attacked me — let Isra’el repeat it —
129:2 since I was young they have often attacked me, but they haven’t overcome me.
129:3 The plowmen plowed on my back; wounding me with long furrows.
129:4 But Adonai is righteous; he cuts me free from the yoke of the wicked.
129:5 Let all who hate Tziyon be thrown back in confusion.
129:6 Let them be like grass on the roof, which dries out before it grows up
129:7 and never fills the reaper’s hands or the arms of the one who binds sheaves,
129:8 so that no passer-by says, “Adonai’s blessing on you! We bless you in the name of Adonai!”
