Psalms 129

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

canticum graduum saepe expugnaverunt me a iuventute mea dicat nunc Israhel

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

saepe expugnaverunt me a iuventute mea etenim non potuerunt mihi

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

supra dorsum meum fabricabantur peccatores prolongaverunt iniquitatem suam

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

Dominus iustus concidet cervices peccatorum

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

confundantur et convertantur retrorsum omnes qui oderunt Sion

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

fiant sicut faenum tectorum quod priusquam evellatur exaruit

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

de quo non implevit manum suam qui metit et sinum suum qui manipulos colligit

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

et non dixerunt qui praeteribant benedictio Domini super vos benediximus vobis in nomine Domini
