詩篇 129

1 上行之詩。 以色列當說：從我幼年以來， 敵人屢次苦害我，

A Song of degrees. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth — oh let Israel say —

2 從我幼年以來，敵人屢次苦害我， 卻沒有勝了我。

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

3 如同扶誆的在我背上扶誆而耕， 耕的誆溝甚長。

The ploughers ploughed upon my back; they made long their furrows.

4 耶和華是公義的； 他砍斷了惡人的繩索。

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

5 願恨惡錫安的都蒙羞退後！

Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all that hate Zion;

6 願他們像房頂上的草， 未長成而枯乾，

Let them be as the grass upon the house-tops, which withereth before it is plucked up,

7 收割的不夠一把， 捆禾的也不滿懷。

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

8 過路的也不說： 願耶和華所賜的福歸與你們！ 我們奉耶和華的名給你們祝福！

Neither do the passers-by say, The blessing of Jehovah be upon you; we bless you in the name of Jehovah!
