ᾠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν πλεονάκις ἐπολέμησάν με ἐκ νεότητός μου εἰπάτω δὴ Ισραηλ

^129:1 A song of ascents. Many a time they have persecuted me from my youth—let Israel now declare—

128:2

πλεονάκις ἐπολέμησάν με ἐκ νεότητός μου καὶ γὰρ οὐκ ἠδυνήθησάν μοι

^129:2 many a time they have persecuted me from my youth, but they have not prevailed against me.

128:3

ἐπὶ τοῦ νώτου μου ἐτέκταινον οἱ ἁμαρτωλοί ἐμάκρυναν τὴν ἀνομίαν αὐτῶν

^129:3 The plowmen plowed over my back; they made their furrows long.

128:4

κύριος δίκαιος συνέκοψεν αὐχένας ἁμαρτωλῶν

^129:4 The LORD is righteous; He has cut me from the cords of the wicked.

128:6

γενηθήτωσαν ὡς χόρτος δωμάτων ὃς πρὸ τοῦ ἐκσπασθῆναι ἐξηράνθη

128:7

οὗ οὐκ ἐπλήρωσεν τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ὁ θερίζων καὶ τὸν κόλπον αὐτοῦ ὁ τὰ δράγματα συλλέγων

^129:7 unable to fill the hands of the reaper, or the arms of the binder of sheaves.

καὶ οὐκ εἶπαν οἱ παράγοντες εὐλογία κυρίου ἐφ᾿ ὑμᾶς εὐλογήκαμεν ὑμᾶς ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου

^129:8 May none who pass by say to them, “The blessing of the LORD be on you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.”
