< Psalms 129 >
1 Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.
Pesem preizvrstna. Mnogo so me stiskali od mladosti moje, govori naj sedaj Izrael.
2 Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.
Mnogo so me stiskali od mladosti moje; vendar me niso zmogli.
3 The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.
Po hrbtu so mi orali orači, potegnili so vsako črto svojo.
4 The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:
Gospod pravični presekal je debele vrvi krivičnih.
5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.
Osramotili se bodo in nazaj pognali vsi sovražniki Sijonovi.
6 Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up:
Bodo kakor seno na strehah, katero usahne, predno se izdere,
7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.
S katerim ne napolni roke svoje žanjec, ali naročja svojega, kdor veže snope.
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.
In ne porekó mimo gredoči: Blagoslov Gospodov bodi z vami; blagoslavljamo vas v imenu Gospodovem.
