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 Song of Ascents.] Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say,

2 從我幼年以來，敵人屢次苦害我， 卻沒有勝了我。

many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.

3 如同扶犂的在我背上扶犂而耕， 耕的犂溝甚長。

The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.

4 耶和華是公義的； 他砍斷了惡人的繩索。

Jehovah is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.

5 願恨惡錫安的都蒙羞退後！

Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.

6 願他們像房頂上的草， 未長成而枯乾，

Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up;

7 收割的不夠一把， 捆禾的也不滿懷。

with which the reaper doesn't fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, 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！

Neither do those who go by say, "The blessing of Jehovah be on you. We bless you in the name of Jehovah."
