Psalms 129

1 A Canticle in steps. They have often fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say:

Mnogo mi dosaðivaše od mladosti moje, neka reèe Izrailj,

2 they have often fought against me from my youth, yet they could not prevail over me.

Mnogo mi dosaðivaše od mladosti moje, ali me ne svladaše.

3 The sinners have made fabrications behind my back. They have prolonged their iniquity.

Na leðima mojim oraše oraèi, i vodiše duge brazde svoje.

4 The just Lord will cut the necks of sinners.

Gospod je pravedan; isijeèe konopce bezbožnièke.

5 Let all those who hate Zion be confounded and turned backwards.

Postidjeæe se, odbiæe se svi koji nenavide Sion.

6 Let them be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can be pulled up:

Biæe kao trava na krovovima, koja se sasušuje prije nego se poèupa,

7 with it, he who reaps does not fill his hand and he who gathers sheaves does not fill his bosom.

Od koje neæe žetelac napuniti ruke svoje, niti naruèja svojega vezilac;

8 And those who were passing by have not said to them: “The blessing of the Lord be upon you. We have blessed you in the name of the Lord.”

I koji prolaze neæe reæi: “Blagoslov Gospodnji na vama! blagosiljamo vas imenom Gospodnjim.”
