Psalms 129

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

Pogosto so me prizadeli od moje mladosti, naj sedaj reče Izrael,

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

pogosto so me prizadeli od moje mladosti, vendar niso prevladali zoper mene.

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

Orači so orali na mojem hrbtu; svoje brazde so naredili dolge.

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

Gospod je pravičen; razsekal je vrvi zlobnih.

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

Naj bodo zbegani in obrnjeni nazaj vsi, ki sovražijo Sion.

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

Naj bodo kakor trava na hišnih strehah, ki ovene preden zraste,

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

s čimer kosec ne napolni svoje roke niti kdor veže snope svojega naročja.

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.

[Naj] niti tisti, ki gredo mimo, ne rečejo: »Nad vami naj bo Gospodov blagoslov. Blagoslavljamo vas v Gospodovem imenu.«
