Psalms 129

1 A song of ascents. Many a time they have persecuted me from my youth— let Israel now declare—

“Mula pa ng aking kabataan madalas akong lusubin nila,” hayaang sabihin ng Israel.

2 many a time they have persecuted me from my youth, but they have not prevailed against me.

“Mula pa ng aking kabataan, nilusob nila ako, pero hindi nila ako natalo.

3 The plowmen plowed over my back; they made their furrows long.

Inararo ng mga mang-aararo ang aking likuran; gumawa (sila) ng mahabang ukit na daan.

4 The LORD is righteous; He has cut me from the cords of the wicked.

Si Yahweh ay matuwid, pinutol niya ang mga lubid ng masama.”

5 May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame.

Nawa malagay silang lahat sa kahihiyan at tumalikod silang mga napopoot sa Sion.

6 May they be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can grow,

Nawa maging tulad (sila) ng mga damo na nasa bubungan na nalalanta bago pa ito lumago,

7 unable to fill the hands of the reaper, or the arms of the binder of sheaves.

na hindi na maaaring punuin ang kamay ng manggagapas o ang dibdib nilang nagtatali ng mga bungkos.

8 May none who pass by say to them, “The blessing of the LORD be on you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.”

Nawa huwag sabihin ng mga dumadaan, “Nawa ang pagpapala ni Yahweh ay sumainyo; pinagpapala namin kayo sa pangalan ni Yahweh.”
