Psalms 129

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

Hodočasnička pjesma. "Mnogo su me od mladosti tlačili" - neka rekne sad Izrael!

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

"Mnogo su me od mladosti tlačili, ali me ne svladaše.

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

Po leđima su mojim orači orali, duge brazde povlačili.

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

Al' Jahve pravedni isiječe užeta zlikovcima!"

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

Nek' se postide i uzmaknu svi koji mrze Sion!

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

Nek' budu k'o trava na krovu što povene prije nego je počupaju.

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

Žetelac njome ne napuni ruku ni naručje onaj koji veže snopove.

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

A prolaznici nek' ne reknu: "Blagoslov Jahvin nad vama! Blagoslivljamo vas imenom Jahvinim!"
