Psalms 129

1 A Song of Ascents. 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up', let Israel now say;

Mnogo mi dosaðivaše od mladosti moje, neka reèe Izrailj,

2 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up; but 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 The LORD is righteous; He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.'

Gospod je pravedan; isijeèe konopce bezbožnièke.

5 Let them be ashamed 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 afore it springeth 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 the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.'

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