Psalms 129

1 A Song of Degrees. Many a time have they warred against me from my youth, let Israel now say:

今イスラエルはいふべし彼等はしばしば我をわかきときより惱めたり

2 Many a time have they warred against me from my youth: and yet they prevailed not against me.

かれらはしばしば我をわかきときより惱めたり されどわれに勝ことを得ざりき

3 The sinners wrought upon my back: they prolonged their iniquity.

耕すものはわが背をたがへしてその畎をながくせり

4 The righteous Lord has cut asunder the necks of sinners.

ヱホバは義し あしきものの繩をたちたまへり

5 Let all that hate Sion be put to shame and turned back.

シオンをにくむ者はみな恥をおびてしりぞかせらるべし

6 Let them be as the grass of the house-tops, which withers before it is plucked up.

かれらは長たざるさきにかるる屋上の草のごとし

7 Wherewith the reaper fills not his hand, nor he that makes up the sheaves, his bosom.

これを刈るものはその手にみたず 之をつかぬるものはその束ふところに盈ざるなり

8 Neither do they that go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.

かたはらを過るものはヱホバの惠なんぢの上にあれといはず われらヱホバの名によりてなんぢらを祝すといはず
