Psalms 129

1 A song of ascents. “Sore have they vexed me from youth” thus let Israel say

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

2 “Sore have they vexed me from youth, but they have not prevailed against me.

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

3 “The ploughers ploughed on my back, they made their furrows long.

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

4 But the Lord, who is righteous, has cut the cords of the wicked.”

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

5 Let all who are haters of Zion be put to shame and defeated.

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

6 May they be as the grass on the house-top, which withers before it shoots up;

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

7 which fills not the arms of the reaper, nor the lap of the binder of sheaves

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

8 whereof no one says as they pass, “The blessing of God be upon you.” In the name of the Lord we bless you.

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