Tehillim 129

Tehillim (Book of Psalms), Chapter 129

'"`UNIQ--named-00000000-QINU`"'¹ A Song of Ascents. 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up', let Israel now say;

'"`UNIQ--named-00000001-QINU`"'² 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up; but they have not prevailed against me.

'"`UNIQ--named-00000002-QINU`"'³ The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.

'"`UNIQ--named-00000003-QINU`"'⁴ HaShem is righteous; He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.'

'"`UNIQ--named-00000004-QINU`"'⁵ Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all they that hate Zion.

'"`UNIQ--named-00000005-QINU`"'⁶ Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it springeth up;

'"`UNIQ--named-00000006-QINU`"'⁷ Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

'"`UNIQ--named-00000007-QINU`"'⁸ Neither do they that go by say: 'The blessing of HaShem be upon you; we bless you in the name of HaShem.'
