Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say, |
| 129.2 |
many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me. |
| 129.3 |

| 129.4 |

| 129.5 |
Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion. |
| 129.6 |
Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up; |
| 129.7 |
with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom. |
| 129.8 |
Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in Yahweh’s name.” |
