Psalms 129
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1A Song of Ascents. 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up', let Israel now say;
1ᾨδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν. ΕΚ ΒΑΘΕΩΝ ἐκέκραξά σοι, Κύριε·
2'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up; but they have not prevailed against me.
2Κύριε, εἰσάκουσον τῆς φωνῆς μου· γενηθήτω τὰ ὦτά σου προσέχοντα εἰς τὴν φωνὴν τῆς δεήσεώς μου.
3The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.
3ἐὰν ἀνομίας παρατηρήσῃς, Κύριε Κύριε, τίς ὑποστήσεται;
4The LORD is righteous; He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.'
4ὅτι παρὰ σοὶ ὁ ἱλασμός ἐστιν.
5Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all they that hate Zion.
5ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός σου ὑπέμεινά σε, Κύριε, ὑπέμεινεν ἡ ψυχή μου εἰς τὸν λόγον σου.
6Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it springeth up;
6ἤλπισεν ἡ ψυχή μου ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον απὸ φυλακῆς πρωΐας μέχρι νυκτός· ἀπὸ φυλακῆς πρωΐας ἐλπισάτω Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον.
7Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
7ὅτι παρὰ τῷ Κυρίῳ τὸ ἔλεος καὶ πολλὴ παρ᾿ αὐτῷ λύτρωσις,
8Neither do they that go by say: 'The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.'
8καὶ αὐτὸς λυτρώσεται τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν ἀνομιῶν αὐτοῦ.
