Psalmi 129

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

A song of ascents. “Sore have they vexed me from youth” thus let Israel say

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

“Sore have they vexed me from youth, but they have not prevailed against me.

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

“The ploughers ploughed on my back, they made their furrows long.

4 Gospod je pravedan; isijeèe konopce bezbožnièke.

But the Lord, who is righteous, has cut the cords of the wicked.”

5 Postidjeæe se, odbiæe se svi koji nenavide Sion.

Let all who are haters of Zion be put to shame and defeated.

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

May they be as the grass on the house-top, which withers before it shoots up;

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

which fills not the arms of the reaper, nor the lap of the binder of sheaves

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

whereof no one says as they pass, “The blessing of God be upon you.” In the name of the Lord we bless you.
