Psalmi 129

1 Hodočasnička pjesma. “Mnogo su me od mladosti tlačili” - neka rekne sad Izrael!

A song of degrees. They haue often times afflicted me from my youth (may Israel nowe say)

2 “Mnogo su me od mladosti tlačili, ali me ne svladaše.

They haue often times afflicted me from my youth: but they could not preuaile against me.

3 Po leđima su mojim orači orali, duge brazde povlačili.

The plowers plowed vpon my backe, and made long furrowes.

4 Al' Jahve pravedni isiječe užeta zlikovcima!”

But the righteous Lord hath cut the cordes of the wicked.

5 Nek' se postide i uzmaknu svi koji mrze Sion!

They that hate Zion, shalbe all ashamed and turned backward.

6 Nek' budu k'o trava na krovu što povene prije nego je počupaju.

They shalbe as the grasse on the house tops, which withereth afore it commeth forth.

7 Žetelac njome ne napuni ruku ni naručje onaj koji veže snopove.

Whereof the mower filleth not his hand, neither the glainer his lap:

8 A prolaznici nek' ne reknu: “Blagoslov Jahvin nad vama! Blagoslivljamo vas imenom Jahvinim!”

Neither they, which go by, say, The blessing of the Lord be vpon you, or, We blesse you in the Name of the Lord.
