詩篇 129

1 從我少年，世人就與我為難，惟願以色列子民再說一遍：

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

2 從我少年，世人就與我為難，然而他們卻未能將我推翻。

'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up; but they have not prevailed against me.

3 又像農夫在我背上耕田，使所犁的溝畦又長又遠；

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

4 但上主卻公道不偏，將惡人的繩索割斷。

The LORD is righteous; He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.'

5 願一切仇恨熙雍的人民，個個蒙受羞辱，轉身逃遁！

Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all they that hate Zion.

6 願他們像屋頂上的禾草，尚未吐出秀穗，就已枯槁！

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it springeth up;

7 收割的人，手拿一把不滿，捆禾的人，懷抱一束不顯。

Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

8 過路的人們不會再說：願上主的祝福臨於您們，我們奉上主名祝福您們。

Neither do they that go by say: 'The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.'
