Psalms 129

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

Cántico gradual. MUCHO me han angustiado desde mi juventud, puede decir ahora Israel;

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

Mucho me han angustiado desde mi juventud; mas no prevalecieron contra mí.

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

Sobre mis espaldas araron los aradores: hicieron largos surcos.

4 The just Lord will cut the necks of sinners.

Jehová es justo; cortó las coyundas de los impíos.

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

Serán avergonzados y vueltos atrás todos los que aborrecen á Sión.

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

Serán como la hierba de los tejados, que se seca antes que crezca:

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

De la cual no hinchió segador su mano, ni sus brazos el que hace gavillas.

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.”

Ni dijeron los que pasaban: Bendición de Jehová sea sobre vosotros; os bendecimos en el nombre de Jehová.
