Salmos 129

1 Mucho me han angustiado desde mi juventud, díga lo ahora Israel;

[A Song of Ascents.] Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say,

2 Mucho me han angustiado desde mi juventud: mas no prevalecieron contra mí.

many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.

3 Sobre mis espaldas araron gañanes: hicieron luengos surcos:

The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.

4 Mas Jehová justo, cortó las coyundas de los impíos.

Jehovah is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.

5 Serán avergonzados, y vueltos atrás, todos los que aborrecen a Sión.

Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.

6 Serán como la yerba de los tejados: que antes que salga, se seca;

Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up;

7 De la cual no hinchió su mano segador; ni su brazo el que hace gavillas.

with which the reaper doesn't fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

8 Ni dijeron los que pasaron: Bendición de Jehová sea sobre vosotros: os bendecimos en nombre de Jehová.

Neither do those who go by say, "The blessing of Jehovah be on you. We bless you in the name of Jehovah."
