| 129:1 | 〔上行之詩。〕以色列當說、從我幼年以來、敵人屢次苦害我、 | Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: |
| 129:2 | 從我幼年以來、敵人屢次苦害我、卻沒有勝了我。 | 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.耕的犁溝甚長。 | The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows. |
| 129:4 | 耶和華是公義的.他砍斷了惡人的繩索。 | The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. |
| 129:5 | 願恨惡錫安的、都蒙羞退後。 | Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. |
| 129:6 | 願他們像房頂上的草、未長成而枯乾. | Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up: |
| 129:7 | 收割的不夠一把、捆禾的也不滿懷. | Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom. |
| 129:8 | 過路的也不說、願耶和華所賜的福、歸與你們.我們奉耶和華的名、給你們祝福。 | Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD. |
