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 a time, have they harassed me from my youth, well may Israel 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 a time, have they harassed me from 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；

Upon my back, have ploughmen ploughed, They have lengthened their furrow!

4 但上主卻公道不偏，將惡人的繩索割斷。

Yahweh, is righteous, He hath cut asunder the cords of the lawless.

5 願一切仇恨熙雍的人民，個個蒙受羞辱，轉身逃遁！

Let all who hate Zion, be ashamed and shrink back:

6 願他們像屋頂上的禾草，尚未吐出秀穗，就已枯槁！

Let them become like the grass of housetops, which, before it is pulled up, hath withered;

7 收割的人，手拿一把不滿，捆禾的人，懷抱一束不顯。

Wherewith no reaper, hath filled his hand, nor binder, 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 have the passers-by ever said, The blessing of Yahweh, be unto you, —We have blessed you in the Name of Yahweh.
