129 A Song of the Ascents. Often they distressed me from my youth, Pray, let Israel say:

Often they distressed me from my youth, Yet they have not prevailed over me.

Over my back have ploughers ploughed, They have made long their furrows.

Jehovah [is] righteous, He hath cut asunder cords of the wicked.

Confounded and turn backward do all hating Zion.

They are as grass of the roofs, That before it was drawn out withereth,

That hath not filled the hand of a reaper, And the bosom of a binder of sheaves.

And the passers by have not said, `The blessing of Jehovah [is] on you, We blessed you in the Name of Jehovah!'

130 A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.

Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.

If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?

But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.

I hoped [for] Jehovah -- hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.

My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!

Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.

And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!

131 A Song of the Ascents, by David. Jehovah, my heart hath not been haughty, Nor have mine eyes been high, Nor have I walked in great things, And in things too wonderful for me.

Have I not compared, and kept silent my soul, As a weaned one by its mother? As a weaned one by me [is] my soul.

Israel doth wait on Jehovah, From henceforth, and unto the age!
