Psalms 129

1 “A song of the degrees.” Many a time have they assailed me from my youth, so should Israel say;

Nyanyian ziarah. Israel, katakanlah bagaimana engkau dianiaya musuh sejak masa mudamu.

2 Many a time have they assailed me from my youth: yet have they not prevailed against me.

"Aku dianiaya musuh sejak masa mudaku, tetapi mereka tak dapat mengalahkan aku;

3 Upon my back have ploughmen ploughed; they have drawn long their furrows:

mereka membuat luka-luka dalam di punggungku, seperti pembajak membuat alur-alur panjang di ladang.

4 [Yet] the Lord is righteous; he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

Tetapi TUHAN yang adil telah membebaskan aku dari perbudakan."

5 May all be put to shame and turned backward that hate Zion;

Biarlah setiap orang yang membenci Sion dikalahkan dan dipukul mundur.

6 May they become like the grass of the roofs, which withereth before it is pulled up;

Biarlah mereka seperti rumput di atas atap yang menjadi kering sebelum dapat tumbuh;

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

tak ada yang menyabitnya, atau mengikatnya dalam berkas.

8 Nor do they who pass by say, The blessing of the Lord be with you: we bless you in the name of the Lord.

Orang-orang yang lewat tak akan berkata, "Semoga engkau diberkati TUHAN, kami memberkati engkau dalam nama TUHAN."
