Psalms 129

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

Orin fún ìgòkè. “Ìgbà púpọ̀ ni wọ́n ti pọ́n mi lójú láti ìgbà èwe mi wá,” jẹ́ kí Israẹli kí ó wí nísinsin yìí;

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

“Ìgbà púpọ̀ ni wọ́n ti pọ́n mi lójú láti ìgbà èwe mi wá; síbẹ̀ wọn kò tí ì borí mi.

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

Àwọn awalẹ̀ walẹ̀ sí ẹ̀yìn mi: wọ́n sì la aporo wọn gígùn.

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

Olódodo ni Olúwa: ó ti ké okùn àwọn ènìyàn búburú kúrò.”

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

Kí gbogbo àwọn tí ó kórìíra Sioni kí ó dààmú, kí wọn kí ó sì yí ẹ̀yìn padà.

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

Kí wọn kí ó dàbí koríko orí ilẹ̀ tí ó gbẹ dànù kí ó tó dàgbàsókè,

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

èyí tí olóko pípa kó kún ọwọ́ rẹ̀: bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹni tí ń di ìtí, kó kún apá rẹ̀.

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.

Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn tí ń kọjá lọ kò wí pé, ìbùkún Olúwa kí ó pẹ̀lú yín: àwa ń súre fún yin ní orúkọ Olúwa.
