¹朝聖之歌（原文作“往上行之歌”）。願以色列說：“從我幼年以來，敵人就多次苦害我。（本節在《馬索拉抄本》包括細字標題）

¹Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say,

²從我幼年以來，敵人雖然多次苦害我，卻沒有勝過我。

²many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.

³他們好像犁田的人犁在我的背上，所犁的溝甚長。

³The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.

⁴但耶和華是公義的，他砍斷了惡人的繩索。”

⁴Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.

⁵願所有恨惡錫安的，都蒙羞退後。

⁵Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.

⁶願他們像屋頂上的草，尚未長大，就枯乾了；

⁶Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up;

⁷收割的不夠一把，捆禾的不夠滿懷。

⁷with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

⁸過路的人也不說：“願耶和華所賜的福臨到你們；我們奉耶和華的名祝福你們。”

⁸Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
