Psalms 129

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

上行之詩。 以色列當說：從我幼年以來， 敵人屢次苦害我，

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

從我幼年以來，敵人屢次苦害我， 卻沒有勝了我。

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

如同扶誆的在我背上扶誆而耕， 耕的誆溝甚長。

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

耶和華是公義的； 他砍斷了惡人的繩索。

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

願恨惡錫安的都蒙羞退後！

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

願他們像房頂上的草， 未長成而枯乾，

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

收割的不夠一把， 捆禾的也不滿懷。

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

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！
