Psalms 129

1 A Song of Ascents. Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say:

Nyanyian ziarah. Israel, katakanlah bagaimana engkau dianiaya musuh sejak masa mudamu.

2 many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.

"Aku dianiaya musuh sejak masa mudaku, tetapi mereka tak dapat mengalahkan aku;

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

mereka membuat luka-luka dalam di punggungku, seperti pembajak membuat alur-alur panjang di ladang.

4 Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.

Tetapi TUHAN yang adil telah membebaskan aku dari perbudakan."

5 Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.

Biarlah setiap orang yang membenci Sion dikalahkan dan dipukul mundur.

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

Biarlah mereka seperti rumput di atas atap yang menjadi kering sebelum dapat tumbuh;

7 with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

tak ada yang menyabitnya, atau mengikatnya dalam berkas.

8 Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in Yahweh’s name.”

Orang-orang yang lewat tak akan berkata, "Semoga engkau diberkati TUHAN, kami memberkati engkau dalam nama TUHAN."
