求上帝击退仇敌
上圣殿朝圣之诗。
1以色列要说：
我从小就深受仇敌的迫害，
2 我从小就深受仇敌的迫害，
但他们没能胜过我。
3 他们鞭打我的背，
伤痕如同农夫耕出的长长犁沟。
4 耶和华是公义的，
祂砍断了恶人捆绑我的绳索。
5 愿所有憎恶锡安的人狼狈而逃。
6 愿他们像房顶的草，
没长起来就已枯萎，
7 割下来不满一把，
扎起来不足一捆。
8 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.
1 ‘They have greatly oppressed me from my youth,’
let Israel say;
2 ‘they have greatly oppressed me from my youth,
but they have not gained the victory over me.
3 Ploughmen have ploughed my back
and made their furrows long.
4 But the Lord is righteous;
he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.’
5 May all who hate Zion
be turned back in shame.
6 May they be like grass on the roof,
which withers before it can grow;
7 a reaper cannot fill his hands with it,
nor one who gathers fill his arms.
8 May those who pass by not say to them,
‘The blessing of the Lord be on you;
we bless you in the name of the Lord.’
