¹ترنيمة المصاعد‎. ‎كثيرا ما ضايقوني منذ شبابي ليقل اسرائيل

¹Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say,

²كثيرا ما ضايقوني منذ شبابي. لكن لم يقدروا عليّ‎.

²many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.

³‎على ظهري حرث الحرّاث. طوّلوا اتلامهم‎.

³The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.

⁴‎الرب صديق. قطع ربط الاشرار‎.

⁴Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.

⁵‎فليخز وليرتد الى الوراء كل مبغضي صهيون‎.

⁵Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.

⁶‎ليكونوا كعشب السطوح الذي ييبس قبل ان يقلع‎.

⁶Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up;

⁷‎الذي لا يملأ الحاصد كفه منه ولا المحزم حضنه‎.

⁷with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

⁸‎ولا يقول العابرون بركة الرب عليكم. باركناكم باسم الرب

⁸Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
