Psalms 129

1 A Song of the going up. Great have been my troubles from the time when I was young (let Israel now say);

Pesem preizvrstna. Mnogo so me stiskali od mladosti moje, govori naj sedaj Izrael.

2 Great have been my troubles from the time when I was young, but my troubles have not overcome me.

Mnogo so me stiskali od mladosti moje; vendar me niso zmogli.

3 The ploughmen were ploughing on my back; long were the wounds they made.

Po hrbtu so mi orali orači, potegnili so vsako črto svojo.

4 The Lord is true: the cords of the evil-doers are broken in two.

Gospod pravični presekal je debele vrvi krivičnih.

5 Let all the haters of Zion be shamed and turned back.

Osramotili se bodo in nazaj pognali vsi sovražniki Sijonovi.

6 Let them be like the grass on the house-tops, which is dry before it comes to full growth.

Bodo kakor seno na strehah, katero usahne, predno se izdere,

7 He who gets in the grain has no use for it; and they do not make bands of it for the grain-stems.

S katerim ne napolni roke svoje žanjec, ali naročja svojega, kdor veže snope.

8 And those who go by do not say, The blessing of the Lord be on you; we give you blessing in the name of the Lord.

In ne porekó mimo gredoči: Blagoslov Gospodov bodi z vami; blagoslavljamo vas v imenu Gospodovem.
