Psalms 129

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

Mnogo mi dosaðivaše od mladosti moje, neka reèe Izrailj,

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

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

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

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

4 The LORD is righteous: he has cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

Gospod je pravedan; isijeèe konopce bezbožnièke.

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

Postidjeæe se, odbiæe se svi koji nenavide Sion.

6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which wither before it grows up:

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

7 With which the mower fills not his hand; nor he that binds sheaves his bosom.

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

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

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