詩篇 129

1 上行之詩。 以色列當說：從我幼年以來， 敵人屢次苦害我，

A Canticle in steps. They have often fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say:

2 從我幼年以來，敵人屢次苦害我， 卻沒有勝了我。

they have often fought against me from my youth, yet they could not prevail over me.

3 如同扶犂的在我背上扶犂而耕， 耕的犂溝甚長。

The sinners have made fabrications behind my back. They have prolonged their iniquity.

4 耶和華是公義的； 他砍斷了惡人的繩索。

The just Lord will cut the necks of sinners.

5 願恨惡錫安的都蒙羞退後！

Let all those who hate Zion be confounded and turned backwards.

6 願他們像房頂上的草， 未長成而枯乾，

Let them be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can be pulled up:

7 收割的不夠一把， 捆禾的也不滿懷。

with it, he who reaps does not fill his hand and he who gathers sheaves does not fill his bosom.

8 過路的也不說： 願耶和華所賜的福歸與你們！ 我們奉耶和華的名給你們祝福！

And those who were passing by have not said to them: “The blessing of the Lord be upon you. We have blessed you in the name of the Lord.”
