求上帝擊退仇敵

上聖殿朝聖之詩。

129 以色列要說:
我從小就深受仇敵的迫害,
我從小就深受仇敵的迫害,
但他們沒能勝過我。
他們鞭打我的背,
傷痕如同農夫耕出的長長犁溝。
耶和華是公義的,
祂砍斷了惡人捆綁我的繩索。
願所有憎惡錫安的人狼狽而逃。
願他們像房頂的草,
沒長起來就已枯萎,
割下來不滿一把,
紮起來不足一捆。
沒有一個路過的人說:
「願耶和華賜福給你們!
我們奉耶和華的名祝福你們。」

求上帝击退仇敌

上圣殿朝圣之诗。

129 以色列要说:
我从小就深受仇敌的迫害,
我从小就深受仇敌的迫害,
但他们没能胜过我。
他们鞭打我的背,
伤痕如同农夫耕出的长长犁沟。
耶和华是公义的,
祂砍断了恶人捆绑我的绳索。
愿所有憎恶锡安的人狼狈而逃。
愿他们像房顶的草,
没长起来就已枯萎,
割下来不满一把,
扎起来不足一捆。
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。”

Psalm 129

A song of ascents.

“They have greatly oppressed(A) me from my youth,”(B)
    let Israel say;(C)
“they have greatly oppressed me from my youth,
    but they have not gained the victory(D) over me.
Plowmen have plowed my back
    and made their furrows long.
But the Lord is righteous;(E)
    he has cut me free(F) from the cords of the wicked.”(G)

May all who hate Zion(H)
    be turned back in shame.(I)
May they be like grass on the roof,(J)
    which withers(K) before it can grow;
a reaper cannot fill his hands with it,(L)
    nor one who gathers fill his arms.
May those who pass by not say to them,
    “The blessing of the Lord be on you;
    we bless you(M) in the name of the Lord.”

129 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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