Chapter 129

A Song of degrees.

1

MANY a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Yashar'el now say:

2

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

3

The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

4

Yahuah is righteous: he has cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

5

Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Tsiyon.

6

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withers afore it grows up:

7

Wherewith the mower fills not his hand; nor he that binds sheaves his bosom.

8

Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of Yahuah be upon you: we bless you in the name of Yahuah.
