Mazmur 129

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

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

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

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

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

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

4 Tetapi TUHAN yang adil telah membebaskan aku dari perbudakan."

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

5 Biarlah setiap orang yang membenci Sion dikalahkan dan dipukul mundur.

All hating Zion [are] confounded and turn backward.

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

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

7 tak ada yang menyabitnya, atau mengikatnya dalam berkas.

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

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

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