תהילים 129

שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת רַבַּת צְרָרוּנִי מִנְּעוּרַי יֹאמַר־נָא יִשְׂרָאֵל׃

Shir hama'alot, rabat tzeraruni mine'urai, yomar na Yisrael.

A song of ascents. 'They have greatly oppressed me from my youth,' let Israel say.

רַבַּת צְרָרוּנִי מִנְּעוּרָי גַּם לֹא־יָכְלוּ לִי׃

Rabat tzeraruni mine'urai, gam lo yachlu li.

'They have greatly oppressed me from my youth, but they have not gained the victory over me.'

עַל־גַּבִּי חָרְשׁוּ חֹרְשִׁים הֶאֱרִיכוּ לְמַעֲנִותָם׃

Al gabi charshu chorshim, he'erichu lema'anitam.

Plowmen have plowed my back and made their furrows long.

יְהוָה צַדִּיק קִצֵּץ עֲבוֹת רְשָׁעִים׃

Adonai tzadik kitzetz avot resha'im.

But the LORD is righteous; He has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.

יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִסֹּגוּ אָחוֹר כֹּל שֹׂנְאֵי צִיּוֹן׃

Yevoshu veyisogu achor kol sonei Tziyon.

May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame.

יִהְיוּ כַּחֲצִיר גַּגּוֹת שֶׁקַּדְמַת שָׁלַף יָבֵשׁ׃

Yihyu kachatzir gagot, shekadmat shalaf yavesh.

May they be like grass on the roof, which withers before it can grow;

שֶׁלֹּא מִלֵּא כַפּוֹ קוֹצֵר וְחִצְנוֹ מְעַמֵּר׃

Shelo mile chapo kotzer, vechitzno me'amer.

a reaper cannot fill his hands with it, nor one who gathers fill his arms.

וְלֹא אָמְרוּ הָעֹבְרִים בִּרְכַּת יְהוָה אֲלֵיכֶם בֵּרַכְנוּ אֶתְכֶם בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה׃

Velo amru ha'ovrim birkat Adonai aleichem, berachnu etchem beshem Adonai.

May those who pass by not say to them, 'The blessing of the LORD be on you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.'
