詩篇 129

1 從我少年，世人就與我為難，惟願以色列子民再說一遍：

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

2 從我少年，世人就與我為難，然而他們卻未能將我推翻。

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.

3 又像農夫在我背上耕田，使所犁的溝畦又長又遠；

The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

4 但上主卻公道不偏，將惡人的繩索割斷。

Yhwh is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

5 願一切仇恨熙雍的人民，個個蒙受羞辱，轉身逃遁！

Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

6 願他們像屋頂上的禾草，尚未吐出秀穗，就已枯槁！

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

7 收割的人，手拿一把不滿，捆禾的人，懷抱一束不顯。

Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

8 過路的人們不會再說：願上主的祝福臨於您們，我們奉上主名祝福您們。

Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of Yhwh be upon you: we bless you in the name of Yhwh.
