Tehillim 129

1 Many 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.

⁴Hashem is tzaddik;

He hath cut asunder the cords of the resha'im.

⁵Let them all be confounded

and turned back that hate Tziyon.

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 .
