Psalms 129

1 A Song of Ascents. Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now 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 times they have afflicted me from my youth up, 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 on my back. They made their furrows long.

如同扶誆的在我背上扶誆而耕， 耕的誆溝甚長。

4 The LORD is righteous. He has cut apart 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 disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.

願恨惡錫安的都蒙羞退後！

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

願他們像房頂上的草， 未長成而枯乾，

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

收割的不夠一把， 捆禾的也不滿懷。

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

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！
