TEHILLIM 129

A song of degrees. 1 \"Often they have distressed me from my youth.\" Let Yisra’ĕl now say, 2 \"Often they have distressed me from my youth, But they have not overcome me. 3 \"The ploughers ploughed on my back They made their furrows long.\" 4 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is righteous; He has cut the cords of the wicked in two. 5 Let all those who hate Tsiyon Be put to shame and turned back. 6 Let them be as the grass on the house-tops, Which withers before it grows up, 7 That shall not fill the reaper's hand, Nor the sheaves the binder's bosom. 8 And those who pass by shall not say, \"The beraḵah of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 be upon you; We have baraḵ you in the Name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄!”
