1Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say,
1朝圣之歌(原文作“往上行之歌”)。愿以色列说:“从我幼年以来,敌人就多次苦害我。(本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题)
2many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.
2从我幼年以来,敌人虽然多次苦害我,却没有胜过我。
3The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.
3他们好像犁田的人犁在我的背上,所犁的沟甚长。
4Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.
4但耶和华是公义的,他砍断了恶人的绳索。”
5Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.
5愿所有恨恶锡安的,都蒙羞退后。
6Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up;
6愿他们像屋顶上的草,尚未长大,就枯干了;
7with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.
7收割的不够一把,捆禾的不够满怀。
8Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
8过路的人也不说:“愿耶和华所赐的福临到你们;我们奉耶和华的名祝福你们。”
