Psalms 129 — English–Hebrew Parallel

1 Many rab (times) they have tzarar (afflicted) me from my naiwar (youth) up. Let Yashar-Al (Israel) now amar (said),

2 Many rab (times) they have tzarar (afflicted) me from my naiwar (youth) up, yet they yakal (have) not prevailed against me.

3 The plowers charash (plowed) on my gab (back). They made their mainah (furrows) arak (long).

4 Yahawah () is tzadayaq (righteous). He has qatzatz (cut) apart the ibath (cords) of the rashai (wicked).

5 Let them be disappointed and sawag (turned) backward, all those who shanaa (hate) Tzayawan (Zion).

6 Let them be as the chatzayar (grass) on the housetops, which yabash (dry land) before it shalap (grows) up;

7 With which the qatzar (reaper) doesn't malaa (fill) his kap (hand), nor he who imar (binds) sheaves, his chatzan (bosom).

8 Neither ibar (pass over/through) those who go by amar (spoke), “The barakah (blessing) of Yahawah () be on you. We barak (blessed) you in the sham (name) of Yahawah ().”
