Psalms 129

A Song of degrees.

1 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:*129.1 Many…: or, Much

2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.*129.2 Many…: or, Much

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

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

5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

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

7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

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

祈求 神使仇敌蒙羞退后

朝圣之歌*原文作"往上行之歌"。 1 愿以色列说：

"从我幼年以来，敌人就多次苦害我。*本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题

2 从我幼年以来，敌人虽然多次苦害我，

却没有胜过我。

3 他们好象犁田的人犁在我的背上，

所犁的沟甚长。

4 但耶和华是公义的，

他砍断了恶人的绳索。"

5 愿所有恨恶锡安的，

都蒙羞退后。

6 愿他们像屋顶上的草，

尚未长大，就枯干了；

7 收割的不够一把，

捆禾的不够满怀。

8 过路的人也不说：

"愿耶和华所赐的福临到你们；

我们奉耶和华的名祝福你们。"
