Psalmi 129

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

A Song of Degrees. Many a time have they warred against me from my youth, let Israel now say:

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

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

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

The sinners wrought upon my back: they prolonged their iniquity.

4 Gospod je pravedan; isijeèe konopce bezbožnièke.

The righteous Lord has cut asunder the necks of sinners.

5 Postidjeæe se, odbiæe se svi koji nenavide Sion.

Let all that hate Sion be put to shame and turned back.

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

Let them be as the grass of the housetops, which withers before it is plucked up.

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

Wherewith the reaper fills not his hand, nor he that makes up the sheaves, his bosom.

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

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