Psalms 129

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

上行之詩。 以色列當說：從我幼年以來， 敵人屢次苦害我，

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

從我幼年以來，敵人屢次苦害我， 卻沒有勝了我。

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

如同扶犂的在我背上扶犂而耕， 耕的犂溝甚長。

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

耶和華是公義的； 他砍斷了惡人的繩索。

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

願恨惡錫安的都蒙羞退後！

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

願他們像房頂上的草， 未長成而枯乾，

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

收割的不夠一把， 捆禾的也不滿懷。

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.

過路的也不說： 願耶和華所賜的福歸與你們！ 我們奉耶和華的名給你們祝福！
