129
1 (Shir HaMa'alot)
Many a time have they afflicted me from my ne'ur,
may Yisroel now say;
2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my ne'ur (youth);
yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 The choreshim (plowers) plowed upon my back;
they made long their furrows.
4 Hashem is tzaddik;
He hath cut asunder the cords of the resha'im.
5 Let them all be confounded
and turned back that hate Tziyon.*i.e, all anti-Semites
6 Let them be as the khatzir (grass) upon the housetops,
which withereth before it groweth up;
7 With it the kotzer (reaper) filleth not his yad;
nor he that gathereth sheaves, his bosom.
8 Neither do they which go by say,
Birkat Hashem be upon you;
we bless you b'Shem Hashem.
