Psalms 129

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. Often they distressed me from my youth, Pray, let Israel say:

上行之詩。 以色列當說：從我幼年以來， 敵人屢次苦害我，

2 Often they distressed me from my youth, Yet they have not prevailed over me.

從我幼年以來，敵人屢次苦害我， 卻沒有勝了我。

3 Plowers have plowed over my back, They have made their furrows long.

如同扶犂的在我背上扶犂而耕， 耕的犂溝甚長。

4 YHWH [is] righteous, He has cut apart cords of the wicked.

耶和華是公義的； 他砍斷了惡人的繩索。

5 All hating Zion [are] confounded and turn backward.

願恨惡錫安的都蒙羞退後！

6 They are as grass of the roofs, That withers before it was drawn out,

願他們像房頂上的草， 未長成而枯乾，

7 That has not filled the hand of a reaper, And the bosom of a binder of sheaves.

收割的不夠一把， 捆禾的也不滿懷。

8 And the passers by have not said, “The blessing of YHWH [is] on you, We blessed you in the Name of YHWH!”

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！
