Psalms 129

1 A Song of degrees. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

上行之詩。 以色列當說：從我幼年以來， 敵人屢次苦害我，

2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed 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 upon my back: they made long their furrows.

如同扶犂的在我背上扶犂而耕， 耕的犂溝甚長。

4 The LORD [is] righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

耶和華是公義的； 他砍斷了惡人的繩索。

5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

願恨惡錫安的都蒙羞退後！

6 Let them be as the grass [upon] the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

願他們像房頂上的草， 未長成而枯乾，

7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

收割的不夠一把， 捆禾的也不滿懷。

8 Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD [be] upon you: we bless 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！
