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

2 從我幼年以來，敵人屢次苦害我， 卻沒有勝了我。

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

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

5 願恨惡錫安的都蒙羞退後！

May they all be put to shame and turned back, those who hate Zion.

6 願他們像房頂上的草， 未長成而枯乾，

May they be like the grass on the housetops that withers before it grows up,

7 收割的不夠一把， 捆禾的也不滿懷。

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

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！

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