A Song of the Ascents.
129 “Since my youth they have constantly attacked me”
—Let Isra'Al now say—
2 “Since my youth they have constantly attacked me;
But they have not defeated me.
3 Plowmen have plowed across my back;
They have made their furrows long.”
4 But Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} is righteous;
He has cut up the ropes of the wicked.
5 They will be put to shame and will retreat in disgrace,
All those who hate Zion.
6 They will become like grass on the rooftops
That withers before it is pulled up,
7 That cannot fill the reaper’s hand
Nor the arms of the one gathering sheaves.
8 Those passing by will not say:
“May the blessing of Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} be upon you;
We bless you in the name of Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}.”
