1 〔上行之詩。〕以色列當說、從我幼年以來、敵人屢次苦害我、
A song of ascents. They have greatly oppressed me from my youth--let Israel say-- |
2 從我幼年以來、敵人屢次苦害我、卻沒有勝了我。
they have greatly oppressed me from my youth, but they have not gained the victory over me. |
3 如同扶犁的、在我背上扶犁而耕．耕的犁溝甚長。
Plowmen have plowed my back and made their furrows long. |
4 耶和華是公義的．他砍斷了惡人的繩索。
But the LORD is righteous; he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked. |
5 願恨惡錫安的、都蒙羞退後。
May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame. |
6 願他們像房頂上的草、未長成而枯乾．
May they be like grass on the roof, which withers before it can grow; |
7 收割的不彀一把、捆禾的也不滿懷．
with it the reaper cannot fill his hands, nor the one who gathers fill his arms. |
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。
May those who pass by not say, "The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD." |
