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 psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Much have they afflicted me from my youth, May 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, Yet have they 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 ploughers ploughed up my back; They made long their furrows;

4 但上主卻公道不偏，將惡人的繩索割斷。

But the LORD was righteous; He 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 all be driven back with shame 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 grass upon the house-tops, Which withereth before one pulleth it 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 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。

And they who pass by do not say, “The blessing of the LORD be upon you! We bless you in the name of the LORD!”
