Psalms 129

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

“Mula pa ng aking kabataan madalas akong lusubin nila,” hayaang sabihin ng Israel.

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

“Mula pa ng aking kabataan, nilusob nila ako, pero hindi nila ako natalo.

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

Inararo ng mga mang-aararo ang aking likuran; gumawa (sila) ng mahabang ukit na daan.

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

Si Yahweh ay matuwid, pinutol niya ang mga lubid ng masama.”

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

Nawa malagay silang lahat sa kahihiyan at tumalikod silang mga napopoot sa Sion.

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

Nawa maging tulad (sila) ng mga damo na nasa bubungan na nalalanta bago pa ito lumago,

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

na hindi na maaaring punuin ang kamay ng manggagapas o ang dibdib nilang nagtatali ng mga bungkos.

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.

Nawa huwag sabihin ng mga dumadaan, “Nawa ang pagpapala ni Yahweh ay sumainyo; pinagpapala namin kayo sa pangalan ni Yahweh.”
