Psalmi 129

1 Pogosto so me prizadeli od moje mladosti, naj sedaj reče Izrael,

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

2 pogosto so me prizadeli od moje mladosti, vendar niso prevladali zoper mene.

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

3 Orači so orali na mojem hrbtu; svoje brazde so naredili dolge.

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

4 Gospod je pravičen; razsekal je vrvi zlobnih.

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

5 Naj bodo zbegani in obrnjeni nazaj vsi, ki sovražijo Sion.

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

6 Naj bodo kakor trava na hišnih strehah, ki ovene preden zraste,

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

7 s čimer kosec ne napolni svoje roke niti kdor veže snope svojega naročja.

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

8 [Naj] niti tisti, ki gredo mimo, ne rečejo: »Nad vami naj bo Gospodov blagoslov. Blagoslavljamo vas v Gospodovem imenu.«

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