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

2 從我幼年以來，敵人屢次苦害我， 卻沒有勝了我。

Many a time, have they harassed me from youth, yet have they not prevailed against me.

3 如同扶犂的在我背上扶犂而耕， 耕的犂溝甚長。

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

4 耶和華是公義的； 他砍斷了惡人的繩索。

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

5 願恨惡錫安的都蒙羞退後！

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

6 願他們像房頂上的草， 未長成而枯乾，

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

7 收割的不夠一把， 捆禾的也不滿懷。

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