Psalms 129

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

1 以色列当说：从我幼年以来， 敌人屡次苦害我，

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

2 从我幼年以来，敌人屡次苦害我， 却没有胜了我。

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

3 如同扶犁的在我背上扶犁而耕， 耕的犁沟甚长。

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

4 耶和华是公义的； 他砍断了恶人的绳索。

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

5 愿恨恶锡安的都蒙羞退后！

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

6 愿他们像房顶上的草， 未长成而枯干，

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

7 收割的不够一把， 捆禾的也不满怀。

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 过路的也不说： 愿耶和华所赐的福归与你们！ 我们奉耶和华的名给你们祝福！
