Psalms 129

1 A Song of the going up. Great have been my troubles from the time when I was young (let Israel now say);

Madalas na ako'y dinalamhati nila mula sa aking kabataan, sabihin ngayon ng Israel,

2 Great have been my troubles from the time when I was young, but my troubles have not overcome me.

Madalas na ako'y dinalamhati nila mula sa aking kabataan: gayon ma'y hindi (sila) nanganaig laban sa akin.

3 The ploughmen were ploughing on my back; long were the wounds they made.

Ang mga mangaararo ay nagsiararo sa aking likod; kanilang pinahaba ang kanilang bungkal.

4 The Lord is true: the cords of the evil-doers are broken in two.

Ang Panginoon ay matuwid: kaniyang pinutol ang mga panali ng masama.

5 Let all the haters of Zion be shamed and turned back.

Mapahiya (sila) at magsitalikod, silang lahat na nangagtatanim ng loob sa Sion.

6 Let them be like the grass on the house-tops, which is dry before it comes to full growth.

Sila'y maging parang damo sa mga bubungan, na natutuyo bago lumaki:

7 He who gets in the grain has no use for it; and they do not make bands of it for the grain-stems.

Na hindi pinupuno ng manggagapas ang kaniyang kamay niyaon, ni siyang nagtatali man ng mga bigkis, ang kaniyang sinapupunan.

8 And those who go by do not say, The blessing of the Lord be on you; we give you blessing in the name of the Lord.

Hindi man sinasabi ng nagsisipagdaan, ang pagpapala ng Panginoon, ay sumainyo nawa; binabasbasan namin kayo sa pangalan ng Panginoon.
