129:2
often as men have attacked me since I was young, they have never overcome me.
129:3
On my back ploughmen have set to work, making long furrows,
129:4

129:5
Let all who hate Zion be thrown back in confusion,
129:6
let them be like grass on a roof, dried up before it is cut,
129:7
never to fill the reaper's arm nor the binder's lap.
129:8
And no passer-by will say, 'The blessing of Yahweh be on you! 'We bless you in the name of Yahweh.'
