Salmos 129

1 Cántico gradual. Mucho me han combatido desde mi mocedad, exclame ahora Israel;

A Song of Ascents. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth up, let Israel now say;

2 mucho me combatieron desde mi mocedad, mas no concluyeron conmigo.

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

3 Sobre mis espaldas araron los aradores; abrieron largos surcos;

The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.

4 mas Yahvé, el Justo, ha cortado las coyundas de los impíos.

The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

5 Retrocedan confundidos cuantos odian a Sión.

Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all they that hate Zion.

6 Sean como la hierba de los tejados, que se seca antes de crecer.

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

7 No llena de ella su mano el segador, ni su regazo el que hace gavillas.

Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

8 No dicen los transeúntes: “La bendición de Yahvé sea sobre vosotros.” “Os bendecimos en el Nombre de Yahvé.”

Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.
