Psalmi 129

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

“A song of the degrees.” Many a time have they assailed me from my youth, so should Israel say;

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

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

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

Upon my back have ploughmen ploughed; they have drawn long their furrows:

4 Gospod je pravedan; isijeèe konopce bezbožnièke.

[Yet] the Lord is righteous; he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

5 Postidjeæe se, odbiæe se svi koji nenavide Sion.

May all be put to shame and turned backward that hate Zion;

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

May they become like the grass of the roofs, which withereth before it is pulled up;

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

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

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

Nor do they who pass by say, The blessing of the Lord be with you: we bless you in the name of the Lord.
