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 the Ascents. Often they distressed me from my youth, Pray, 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 they distressed me from my youth, Yet they have not prevailed over me.

3 又像農夫在我背上耕田，使所犁的溝畦又長又遠；

Over my back have ploughers ploughed, They have made long their furrows.

4 但上主卻公道不偏，將惡人的繩索割斷。

Jehovah [is] righteous, He hath cut asunder 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！

Confounded and turn backward do all hating Zion.

6 願他們像屋頂上的禾草，尚未吐出秀穗，就已枯槁！

They are as grass of the roofs, That before it was drawn out withereth,

7 收割的人，手拿一把不滿，捆禾的人，懷抱一束不顯。

That hath not filled the hand of a reaper, And the bosom of a binder of sheaves.

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 the passers by have not said, 'The blessing of Jehovah [is] on you, We blessed you in the Name of Jehovah!'
