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. “Often since my youth they have attacked me,” let 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。

“Often since my youth they have attacked me, yet they have not defeated 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。

Yahweh is righteous; he has cut the ropes of the wicked.”

5 願一切仇恨熙雍的人民，個個蒙受羞辱，轉身逃遁！

May they all be put to shame and turned back, 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！

May they be like the grass on the housetops that 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。

that cannot fill the reaper's hand or the chest of the one who binds bundles of grain together.

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。

May those who pass by not say, “May the blessing of Yahweh be on you; we bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
