< Psalms 129 >

1 A Song of Ascents. Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let 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 times they have afflicted me from my youth up, 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 on my back. They made their furrows long.
如同扶犂的在我背上扶犂而耕, 耕的犂溝甚長。
4 Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
耶和華是公義的; 他砍斷了惡人的繩索。
5 Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.
願恨惡錫安的都蒙羞退後!
6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,
願他們像房頂上的草, 未長成而枯乾,
7 with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.
收割的不夠一把, 捆禾的也不滿懷。
8 Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in Yahweh’s name.”
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!
