Psalms 129

1 A song of degrees. They haue often times afflicted me from my youth (may Israel nowe say)

上行之诗。 以色列当说：从我幼年以来， 敌人屡次苦害我，

2 They haue often times afflicted me from my youth: but they could not preuaile against me.

从我幼年以来，敌人屡次苦害我， 却没有胜了我。

3 The plowers plowed vpon my backe, and made long furrowes.

如同扶犁的在我背上扶犁而耕， 耕的犁沟甚长。

4 But the righteous Lord hath cut the cordes of the wicked.

耶和华是公义的； 他砍断了恶人的绳索。

5 They that hate Zion, shalbe all ashamed and turned backward.

愿恨恶锡安的都蒙羞退后！

6 They shalbe as the grasse on the house tops, which withereth afore it commeth forth.

愿他们像房顶上的草， 未长成而枯干，

7 Whereof the mower filleth not his hand, neither the glainer his lap:

收割的不够一把， 捆禾的也不满怀。

8 Neither they, which go by, say, The blessing of the Lord be vpon you, or, We blesse you in the Name of the Lord.

过路的也不说： 愿耶和华所赐的福归与你们！ 我们奉耶和华的名给你们祝福！
