¹Jie vargino mane nuo pat jaunystės,­tesako Izraelis,­

¹A Song of the Ascents. Often they distressed me from my youth, Pray, let Israel say:

²jie vargino mane nuo pat jaunystės, tačiau nenugalėjo.

²Often they distressed me from my youth, Yet they have not prevailed over me.

³Artojai ant mano nugaros arė, išvarydami ilgas vagas.

³Over my back have ploughers ploughed, They have made long their furrows.

⁴Bet teisusis Viešpats nedorėlių pančius sutraukė.

⁴Jehovah [is] righteous, He hath cut asunder cords of the wicked.

⁵Tesusigėsta ir pasitraukia visi, kurie nekenčia Siono.

⁵Confounded and turn backward do all hating Zion.

⁶Tebūna jie kaip stogo žolė, kuri, dar neužaugusi, nuvysta;

⁶They are as grass of the roofs, That before it was drawn out withereth,

⁷nesusirenka iš jos net sauja pjovėjui nei mažiausias pėdas rišėjui.

⁷That hath not filled the hand of a reaper, And the bosom of a binder of sheaves.

⁸Praeiviai, eidami pro šalį, nesako jiems: “Tepalaimina tave Viešpats. Mes laiminame tave Viešpaties vardu”.

⁸And the passers by have not said, `The blessing of Jehovah [is] on you, We blessed you in the Name of Jehovah!`
