| 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、未长成而枯干. | 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. |
