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.] Many times they have 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。

many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet 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 on my back. They made their furrows long.

4 但上主卻公道不偏，將惡人的繩索割斷。

YHWH is righteous. He has cut apart 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 disappointed and turned backward, all those who 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 on the housetops, which withers before it grows up;

7 收割的人，手拿一把不滿，捆禾的人，懷抱一束不顯。

with which the reaper doesn't fill his hand, nor he who binds 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 those who go by say, "The blessing of YHWH be on you. We bless you in the name of YHWH."
