Psalms 129

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

Множицею брашася со мною от юности моея, да речет убо Израиль:

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

множицею брашася со мною от юности моея, ибо не премогоша мя.

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

На хребте моем делаша грешницы, продолжиша беззаконие свое.

4 The just Lord will cut the necks of sinners.

Господь праведен ссече выя грешников.

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

Да постыдятся и возвратятся вспять вси ненавидящии Сиона:

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

да будут яко трава на здех, яже прежде восторжения изсше:

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

еюже не исполни руки своея жняй, и недра своего рукояти собираяй:

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.”

и не реша мимоходящии: благословение Господне на вы, благословихом вы во имя Господне.
