Psalms 129:4-8

⁴But Yahweh is righteous, and he has freed me from being a slave MTY of wicked people.

⁵I wish/hope that all those who hate Jerusalem/Israel will be ashamed because of being defeated.

⁶I hope/wish that they will be of no value, like grass that grows on the roofs of houses that dries up and does not grow tall;

⁷as a result no one cuts it and puts it in bundles and carries it away.

⁸People who pass by and see men harvesting grain usually greet them by saying to them, “We wish/hope that Yahweh will bless you!” But this will not happen to those who hate Israel. We, acting as Yahweh's representatives, bless you Israelis.
