Psalms 129

1 A Song of Ascents. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up, Let Israel now say,

Mnogo mi dosaðivaše od mladosti moje, neka reèe Izrailj,

2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up: Yet they have not prevailed against me.

Mnogo mi dosaðivaše od mladosti moje, ali me ne svladaše.

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

Na leðima mojim oraše oraèi, i vodiše duge brazde svoje.

4 Jehovah is righteous: He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

Gospod je pravedan; isijeèe konopce bezbožnièke.

5 Let them be put to shame and turned backward, All they that hate Zion.

Postidjeæe se, odbiæe se svi koji nenavide Sion.

6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, Which withereth before it groweth up;

Biæe kao trava na krovovima, koja se sasušuje prije nego se poèupa,

7 Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, Nor he that bindeth sheaves, his bosom:

Od koje neæe žetelac napuniti ruke svoje, niti naruèja svojega vezilac;

8 Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of Jehovah be upon you; We bless you in the name of Jehovah.

I koji prolaze neæe reæi: “Blagoslov Gospodnji na vama! blagosiljamo vas imenom Gospodnjim.”
