Psalms 129

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gospod je pravičen; razsekal je vrvi zlobnih.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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