129:1 （上行之诗）以色列当说，从我幼年以来，敌人屡次苦害我，

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

129:2 从我幼年以来，敌人屡次苦害我，却没有胜了我。

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

129:3 如同扶犁的在我背上扶犁而耕，耕的犁沟甚长。

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

129:4 耶和华是公义的。他砍断了恶人的绳索。

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

129:5 愿恨恶锡安的，都蒙羞退后。

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

129:6 愿他们像房顶上的草，未长成而枯乾。

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

129:7 收割的不够一把，捆禾的也不满怀。

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

129:8 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。

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