Psalms 129

1 A song of ascents. Many a time they have persecuted me from my youth—let Israel now declare—

1 以色列要说： “我从小就深受仇敌的迫害，

2 many a time they have persecuted me from my youth, but they have not prevailed against me.

2 我从小就深受仇敌的迫害， 但他们没能胜过我。

3 The plowmen plowed over my back; they made their furrows long.

3 他们如同农夫在我背上耕田， 耕出长长的犁沟。”

4 The LORD is righteous; He has cut me from the cords of the wicked.

4 耶和华是公义的， 祂砍断了恶人的绑索。

5 May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame.

5 愿所有憎恶锡安的人抱愧而逃。

6 May they be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can grow,

6 愿他们像房顶的草， 没长起来就已枯萎，

7 unable to fill the hands of the reaper, or the arms of the binder of sheaves.

7 割下来不满一把， 扎起来不足一捆。

8 May none who pass by say to them, “The blessing of the LORD be on you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.”

8 没有一个路过的人说： “愿耶和华赐福给你们！ 我们奉耶和华的名祝福你们。”
