Psalmi 129

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Much have they afflicted me from my youth, May Israel now say;

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

Much have they afflicted me from my youth, Yet have they not prevailed against me.

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

The ploughers ploughed up my back; They made long their furrows;

4 Gospod je pravedan; isijeèe konopce bezbožnièke.

But the LORD was righteous; He cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

5 Postidjeæe se, odbiæe se svi koji nenavide Sion.

Let all be driven back with shame Who hate Zion!

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

Let them be as grass upon the house-tops, Which withereth before one pulleth it up;

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

With which the reaper 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.”

And they who pass by do not say, “The blessing of the LORD be upon you! We bless you in the name of the LORD!”
