Psalmi 129

1 Mnogo mi dosaðivaše od mladosti moje, neka reèe Izrailj,

MANY a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

2 Mnogo mi dosaðivaše od mladosti moje, ali me ne svladaše.

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

3 Na leðima mojim oraše oraèi, i vodiše duge brazde svoje.

The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

4 Gospod je pravedan; isijeèe konopce bezbožnièke.

The Lord is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

5 Postidjeæe se, odbiæe se svi koji nenavide Sion.

Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

6 Biæe kao trava na krovovima, koja se sasušuje prije nego se poèupa,

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

7 Od koje neæe žetelac napuniti ruke svoje, niti naruèja svojega vezilac;

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

8 I koji prolaze neæe reæi: “Blagoslov Gospodnji na vama! blagosiljamo vas imenom Gospodnjim.”

Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we bless you in the name of the Lord.
