Psalms 129

1 A Song of Ascents. 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up', let Israel now say;

Pesem preizvrstna. Mnogo so me stiskali od mladosti moje, govori naj sedaj Izrael.

2 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up; but they have not prevailed against me.

Mnogo so me stiskali od mladosti moje; vendar me niso zmogli.

3 The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.

Po hrbtu so mi orali orači, potegnili so vsako črto svojo.

4 The LORD is righteous; He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.'

Gospod pravični presekal je debele vrvi krivičnih.

5 Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all they that hate Zion.

Osramotili se bodo in nazaj pognali vsi sovražniki Sijonovi.

6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it springeth up;

Bodo kakor seno na strehah, katero usahne, predno se izdere,

7 Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

S katerim ne napolni roke svoje žanjec, ali naročja svojega, kdor veže snope.

8 Neither do they that go by say: 'The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.'

In ne porekó mimo gredoči: Blagoslov Gospodov bodi z vami; blagoslavljamo vas v imenu Gospodovem.
