Psalms 129

1 Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.

Nyanyian ziarah. Israel, katakanlah bagaimana engkau dianiaya musuh sejak masa mudamu.

2 Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.

"Aku dianiaya musuh sejak masa mudaku, tetapi mereka tak dapat mengalahkan aku;

3 The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.

mereka membuat luka-luka dalam di punggungku, seperti pembajak membuat alur-alur panjang di ladang.

4 The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:

Tetapi TUHAN yang adil telah membebaskan aku dari perbudakan."

5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.

Biarlah setiap orang yang membenci Sion dikalahkan dan dipukul mundur.

6 Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up:

Biarlah mereka seperti rumput di atas atap yang menjadi kering sebelum dapat tumbuh;

7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.

tak ada yang menyabitnya, atau mengikatnya dalam berkas.

8 And they that have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.

Orang-orang yang lewat tak akan berkata, "Semoga engkau diberkati TUHAN, kami memberkati engkau dalam nama TUHAN."
